Fernando Rey reprises his role as drug kingpin Alain Charnier who escaped the clutches of the police in a raid at the conclusion of the first film. Hackman’s Popeye also is back in pursuit, this time to Marseilles to smash the origins of the heroin traffic with a personal vendetta to get his man. But Charnier has plans of his own for Popeye who he has assaulted and subjected to the personal and near-death ravages of drug addiction as his payback for the detective’s annoyance.
