Il tenente Marion Cobretti, una truppa d’assalto da un uomo solo. Le sue armi, un mitra con puntatore laser e una Colt 45 con l’impugnatura di madreperla, sputano puro veleno anticrimine. Gli indizi non portano ad un singolo assassino, ma ad un esercito di psicopatici che cerca di aprire la strada a un delirante autoproclamato Nuovo Ordine. L’involontaria testimone della loro ultima orgia di sangue deve sparire. Fortunatamente Cobra è il suo protettore. E chi ama il cardiopalma dei film d’azione non potrebbe chiederne di più.
