Adam West has a nice life. He has a profitable nightclub, a sports car, and if he just broke up with Nancy Kwan, she's about to re-enter his life. His only problem is that a Mafia boss in charge of legitimate investments has just shown up dead at his club. His associates are aware that West used to be an international hit man. Unless he investigates and comes up with an answer quickly, he won't be alive much longer. The CIA is agreeable to working with him on this matter.
It's one of those mysteries in which people show up occasionally to fill West in on the next bit of information he needs, while he strolls through a changing series of assumptions and the occasional new conspiracy. Francis Lyons' last movie has a fine assortment of old-time actors, including Nehemiah Persoff, Robert Alda, and Buddy Greco as the piano player at West's club. But it never seems to amount to much more than a puzzle.
