Storyline

---

In the city of Bologna, the dangerous bandit Valli and his gang run an extortion racket by terrorizing traders. Anyone who refuses will pay the consequences with their shops being blown up or with their lives. Police Commissioner Grifi sets out on the trail of the gang, starting a long hunt for extortionists and murderers. Having obtained permission from the police commissioner to organize a special team, Grifi himself gathers courageous and particularly gifted agents; he trains them in the use of pursuit and self-defense techniques trying to locate the opponents' shelters. In the end Grifi reaches Valli who, now isolated, is fleeing on a city bus. Agent Brogi, disguised, sits next to Valli on the bus, but once the criminal realizes the policeman's identity, he kills him. Grifi manages to immobilize him with a gunshot from the outside and gets on the bus to arrest him, but the criminal is in turn lynched by the angry crowd who recognized him.
