Description: In the present-day Italy of kidnappings and ransoms, good professional bodyguards are demanding and getting exorbitant salaries because the protection they provide makes it possible for wealthy Italian families to obtain kidnap insurance at reduced rates. Creasy, a former solider of fortune, is persuaded by his friend Guido to become the bodyguard of an Italian industrialist. When his young charge is kidnapped, all of his regenerated life-force becomes centered on revenge.
