A trio of Harlem homeboys disguised as police knocks off a Mafia numbers house, pocketing $300,000 and gunning down a few cops in the process. It's up to a shifty white detective (Anthony Quinn) and his reluctant black partner (Yaphet Kotto) to nab the amateur crooks before sadistic mob enforcer Nick D'Salvio (Anthony Franciosa) gets his hands on them. This unrelentingly violent action-thriller has become a cult favorite.
