Description
Two Army buddies (one black, one white), who desert in Vietnam, rendezvous in Rome and have misadventures with the Mafia. As the film opens, Beauregard Jones (Brown) is on leave in Los Angeles delivering a packet of heroin he smuggled out of Vietnam. He is doublecrossed by the mob and forced to shoot his way out. Back with his unit outside Saigon, Beau discovers his buddy Joe Scott (Safren) has been courtmartialed for striking a superior. A Viet Cong raid gives Beau an opening to help Joe escape and the pair desert. They make their way separately to Europe and eventually to Rome where they acquire a couple of girlfriends (Paluzzi and King) and again cross paths with the Mafia. Joe's girlfriend is killed by mob hitmen. Joe takes his revenge on them and then turns himself in to the U.S. embassy. Beau and his girlfriend make their way to Canada where he hopes he can push his dope without being hassled.
