Gambler Ron Lewis (Joe Don Baker) wins a ton of money but is later robbed in the street. In self defense he kills a cop and is sentenced to 4 years of prison, where he plots bloody revenge on the corrupt police force and the mayor.

Location shooting was critical to the film's gritty look. The AFI catalog notes: "[The film's] end credits include the following information: 'Filmed Entirely on Location in The State of Tennessee.' ... shooting was set to begin in mid-Jul 1973 in New Orleans, LA ... but filming didn't begin until 14 May 1974, in Nashville, TN, instead of New Orleans. ... The film was also shot on locations within twenty miles of the State Capitol in Nashville, TN, including the capitol building itself. At Tennessee State Prison, real security guards and convicts were used as extras. Governor Winfield Dunn loaned his state-owned Lear jet for a sequence filmed at Rutherford County-Smyrna Airport. Nashville's historic downtown was closed down after midnight for filming. Other locations were Radnor Lake, the Starlite nightclub in north Nashville, the Sheraton-South Motor Inn, and Longacres, the opulent estate of a local businessman."
