A young woman, played by gorgeous Karen Lamm leaves her brothers Montana ranch and heads for Los Angeles. There she meets nothing but trouble as she is raped by a Mexican gang and then sold into prostitution. Her brother played by Jim Mitchum comes looking for her.
He, of course gets no help from the authorities and he soon starts handing things his own way. He is aided by a social worker played by Cathy Lee Crosby and a young man named Chucho played by Eric Estrada. Mitchum leaves no stone unturned in looking for his sister and he resorts to killing those that get in his way.
He finally finds his sister, who has been beaten to death by a violent client and so he in turn kills the slime that ruined her life. This is a fine film and very well done. The acting is very, very goo and Mitchum is perfect for his role. The ending is somewhat of a downer, but that is what makes it work so well.
The supporting cast is marvelous and includes Anne Archer as a prostitute who helps Lamm and then is shockingly killed in a scene that really has some impact, Vince Cannon and John Kerry.
I highly recommend this film to anyone. Parts of it will make you angry, but that is the power this film has. Sadly is has been ignored, but thanks to Shout Factory it is available on DVD.
