Life looks rosy for Mace Morgan, chief rig inspector for Wheeler International, major maker and maintainer of offshore oil exploration hardware, when his tough-nut company boss, Benjamin Wheeler (George Kennedy) offers him a patnership in a new oil-drilling enterprise. But the sweet life starts turning sour when Mace becomes emotionally involved with Monique, a Louisiana oil groupie and Benjamin's latest bit. When Benjamin laid up with a broken leg, Mace and Monique make the most of their chance to be together - until a lover's tiff sends her hurtling off into the night in Mace's sport car, culminating in a hit-and-run killing of a motorcycle cop.
Mace tries to cover Monique's involvement in the crime but soon find himself caught in a web of blackmail, drug-running and corruption involving the Police. Soon the bodies start to pile up around him and he finds out he is being framed for murder.
