A series of drug-related murders haunt Saigon. Ex-Green Beret Mark Stryker and his MP's must find the culprits. With the help of Jean Lassiter, a nosey reporter covering the crime beat, Stryker uncovers the involvement of corrupt politicians in the heroin trade and in the killings. But before he can pin them down, Stryker is framed for the murder of his commanding officer and now he must clear his name, free Lassiter from her captors, and stop his men from carrying out their own kind of vengeance before it is too late.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Clark Henderson mostly worked in Filipino exploitation cinema—this was his attempt at 'prestige' with an American cast. It didn't work.
Released the same year as Platoon and Full Metal Jacket, this represents the exact kind of cheap Vietnam War schlock those films were reacting against. P. J. Soles had already starred in actual classics like Halloween and Carrie—her presence here is a mystery for the ages.
