A hard-boiled border cop out to bring down an immoral and evil smuggler of illegal aliens. Stars: Telly Savalas, Edward Albert. An interesting film mostly shot in Mexico. Tells the story about a soon-to-retire 'short-timer' Border Patrol officer (Savalas) who has good relations with people in Mexico and terrible relations with corrupt upper level Border Patrol bosses. This film is really 'Kojak goes to the Border'. It shows illegal aliens in a liberal silly sympathetic light as only mindless pawns in the sick power game between a Mexican smuggler coyote (Michael Gazzo) and corrupt Border Patrol boss, Albert. Illegals are about as interesting in this film as the cows processed in the coyote's meat packing plant. Interesting only for Savalas acting work on screen.
