After refusing to defend Tony Fanelli (Nicky DeMatteo), a small-time mobster accused of murder, he finds himself involved in protecting the only witness, Tracey Allen (Carla Brothers), from Fanelli's hired thugs. While protecting this young woman, he is confronted by The Red Ninja (Yuki Matsuzaki), a Japanese assassin, who years before killed his family rather than pay Ali for defending him.Actors
