Two hitmen drive to Eddie Macklins house to assassinate him as he builds a brick wall in his backyard. Meanwhile, Eddies brother Earl Robert Duvall is released from prison in Illinois after a 27month term for carrying a concealed weapon. His girlfriend Bett Karen Black picks him up and takes him to a motel. She informs Earl of his brothers execution by the Outfit. Earl deduces that the motel stay is a setup, and when one of the hitmen who killed his brother bursts into the room, Earl ambushes him and tortures him for information.Macklin lets the hitman live and sends him back to Chicago as a warning. Bett confesses that the Outfit tortured her and threatened to cut off her face if she didnt lure Macklin to the motel. His next move is to rob a poker game where Outfit member Jake Menner Timothy Carey is playing. Menner explains that the Wichita, Kansas bank that Eddie and Earl robbed together was an Outfit cover, so the contract on the two of them is simple retribution. Macklin calculates that the Outfit owes him 250,000 for the trouble it has caused him. He says whatever he earns by ripping off the Outfits operations in the meantime is just gravy. Then, he shoots Menner in the hand as revenge for the treatment of Bett. ........
