Description:
—Ricco Aversi (Christopher Mitchum) is the layabout son of a powerful mobster. After his father was killed, Ricco had a run in with the man who usurped his father, Don Vito (Arthur Kennedy), who in turn had Ricco thrown in jail on trumped up charges for a couple of years. Ricco emerges form jail to find his family now ostracized, living on the outskirts of Rome, and to make matters even more humiliating Ricco’s former flame, Rosa (Malisa Longo), has shacked up with Don Vito. Ricco finds a sympathetic ally in a counterfeiter and his vixen niece, Scilla (Barbara Bouchet). Soon the Karate chopping Ricco is jabbing away at Don Vito, breaking into his compound, robbing him of his payoffs, all the while trying to uncover the identity of the man responsible for the hit on his father. Ricco gets more emboldened. Don Vito gets increasingly angry and is the kind of gangster prone to throwing men into the acid bath at his soap factory. So, it doesn’t take a genius to realize the two are on a collision course.
—After 2 years in prison Ricco is released and on a path of vengeance. His father, the head of a mafia family, is gunned down by the ambitious Don Vito and now Ricco is looking to settle the score
