Harry Crown, a stylish professional hit man with a pair of Browning Hi-Power 9mm pistols with ivory grips, carried in a shoulder holster, is brought in by mob boss \"Uncle Frank\" Kelly when his operation is challenged by Big Eddie, a grinning, lisping rival.
Crown is caught in the crossfire, as is his romantic interest, Buffy, a third-grade schoolteacher. In his attempt to take over the rackets, Big Eddie has hired Marvin \"The Claw\" Zuckerman, a sadistic one-armed killer with a prosthetic attachment that includes machine guns and knives.
Buffy is abducted, causing Harry to ignore Uncle Frank\'s warnings not to take on Eddie\'s men in broad daylight. A showdown in a warehouse results in The Claw being overpowered and literally disarmed. Harry appears to be too late to save Buffy, but a gunshot rings out and Big Eddie falls to the ground, slain by Uncle Frank.
