The film begins in Vietnam, opening with a dramatic shot of a huge explosion propelling a U.S. soldier through the air. The soldier is revealed to be the film's protagonist, John Eastland (Robert Ginty) who is quickly assisted by fellow soldier and best friend Michael Jefferson (Steve James). Both men, along with several other U.S. soldiers are quickly captured by the Viet Cong. The film cuts to an open-air VC camp where we next see the soldiers tied to wooden stakes in the ground. The VC commander demands information on when a U.S. strike is going to occur. Eastland refuses to answer and the commander slowly decapitates one of his fellow soldiers. Jefferson manages to get free and quickly slaughters the Vietnamese soldiers., 1h32

Following from the previous film, it shows Eastland walking freely on the streets of New York, without any hint that his dual identity was compromised. He meets up with another old army buddy, Be Gee (Faison), who owns a garbage truck. As seen at the beginning of the film, Eastland wears a welders' mask and wields a flame thrower, while listening to a police scanner for possible crimes to stop. Slaying the brother of a gang leader named X (Van Peebles), the Exterminator gains the gang's enmity. Coincidentally, his army buddy happens to see the gang during a robbery of an armoured car, and scares them away with his truck. However, they get the truck's plate numbers, and vow revenge. Following the truck one night when the buddy loans it to Eastland, they follow Eastland to his home, and, not having seen who the driver of the truck was the night it scared them away, they presume Eastland was the man behind the wheel that night. They attack Eastland's girlfriend in the park, crippling her. Later, they break into her apartment and kill her.Directed by Jean-Marie PallardyOrigin FranceGenres Drama,

Un vieil homme confie à Rod Drew la mission de retrouver Marie, la fille de son frère John Ball, disparue depuis longtemps (mais il y a erreur sur le prénom…) Drew commence son aventure mouvementée dans le train qui l'emmène au nord du Canada : il porte secours à un homme menacé par des joueurs de cartes que ce dernier accuse d'avoir triché.

Ils trouveront entre-temps la cabane où mourut l'infortuné John Ball et le plan de sa mine d’or. La tâche de Rod s'annonce désormais périlleuse car Wabi est maintenant recherché pour meurtre et il est lui-même considéré comme un probable complice. Ils vont devoir échapper, à la fois, aux brigands voleurs d'or menés par Jules LaRocque et à la Police montée qui les recherchent.
