When Loco Parmini escapes from prison (using an explosive volume of The Complete Works of Oscar Wilde from the library) he makes sure two of Lambie‘s men get shot while in pursuit. His next stop is at the Superintendent’s house where he takes Mrs. Lambie hostage. Parmini is out for revenge, holding his opponent responsible for the death of his brother who was killed in a Flying Squad raid set up by Lambie.
Quite straightforward (and very good!) which probably made it attractive for foreign markets. This is as close as Strangers ever came to The Professionals (cf. Hunter/Hunted, Runner) and The Sweeney (Big Brother). Has its share of unexpected bits and irony though.
