Plot[]

Carl Hamilton is assigned to go to Sicily to free two Swedish businessmen who are held captive by a local villain named Don Tommaso. The Don wants a Swedish naval robot system in exchange for his hostages. In the beginning Hamilton acts merely as a negotiator, but when he cannot accept the demands of his counterpart, the situation escalates.

Hamilton stands up against Don Tommaso, while abduction and murder becomes the language of negotiation. A classical vendetta is initiated, as narcotics from Colombia and the Italian intelligence community become involved.
