The movie is all about the mood and the style of it, but there's some small semblance of a story: Ricky (Karl Scheydt) is back in his hometown of Munich after spending an unspecified number of years in the U.S., and in Vietnam, and now he's a killer for hire with an immaculately tailored double-breasted suit. The local police engage his services, to rub out some criminal types that they cannot nail by conventional means—Ricky happily goes into their employ, and is especially fond of pushing back the brim of his fedora with the barrel of his gun, a gesture he no doubt picked up while watching things like The Petrified Forest.
