Slaughter gets arrested and charged with first degree murder, but Treasury Dept. official Price Cameron Mitchell offers to drop all charges if he agrees to go to an unnamed South American country in order to hunt down and capture the escaped mobster, who apparently has a supercomputer that helps him run his crime empire. Slaughter readily accepts the deal.Upon arriving, he meets up with two fellow agents, Harry Don Gordon and Kim Marlene Clark, the latter of whom hed previously met. It turns out that the mobster responsible for the murder of Slaughters father is Dominic Hoffo Rip Torn, theto kingpin Felice Norman Alfe. Hoffo, a blatant racist and sociopath, instantly hates Slaughter, especially when his comare Ann Stella Stevens, a professional working for the organization, makes it clear shes delighted to have been ordered by Felice to present herself to Slaughter as a peace offering. Slaughter, having no intention of backing down from his vendetta, accepts her offer with pleasure, and her loyalties quickly transfer to him. Numerous fights and gun battles ensue, with the hotheaded Hoffo eventually killing the more reasonable Felice and assuming command. After a climactic shootout and lengthy car chase, Slaughter succeeds in killing Hoffo by incinerating him alive in his crashed vehicle. ........
