Veteran bounty hunter Ralph "Papa" Thorson (Steve McQueen) goes on a series of both routine and downright dangerous searches to bring in the bad guys. With each life-threatening incident in the line of duty, Thorson questions his chosen profession. An extended chase scene through the streets of Chicago reveals how terrible a driver Thorson is. Kathryn Harrold plays Thorson's pregnant girlfriend, Dotty. (official distributor synopsis)
