A prolific bunch of safe crackers retrieves a great deal of booty. They work all over the US and kill everybody standing in their way. Once it is brought to the notice of FBI director Mr. High that these crimes are committed by the same gangsters, he doesn't hesitate to assign special agent Jerry Cotton. Pretending to be a criminal himself, special agent Cotton joins the criminal underworld. He demonstrates his toughness by beating up some street fighters in a bar and pretends he wanted to join forces with a gang of equally ruthless characters.
