At a Texas barbecue, a pretty woman chats up a wealthy rancher, and soon they're off on a horseback ride. Before she shoots him on an isolated road, she gives him a minute to reflect on who he might have offended on his rise to the top. She's Angela de Vries, a contract killer based in L.A. She wants this to have been her last job; her contractor wants one more death, a national union leader, made to look like an accident. She starts her homework on this mark. Meanwhile, in her private life, she's in love with a budding photographer. Is there any way that she can get out of the game and have a full love life?

Director Tracy Keenan Wynn is the son of legendary screenwriter Keenan Wynn, who also appears in the film as Buddy McCormack. Nepotism slaps sometimes.
This aired as an ABC Movie of the Week during the brief 1970s boom of female-led action TV — think Wonder Woman, Charlie's Angels, but make it nihilistic and 72 minutes.
