Indagano in due su un delitto commesso all'interno del presidio militare di San Francisco. A Hyams, robusto regista di cinema d'azione, interessano più i rapporti tra i quattro personaggi che l'indagine sul delitto. Ingegnosamente filmato a San Francisco con qualche emozionante sequenza di inseguimento, è superficiale e stereotipato.
