SYNOPSIS:

A mercenary, Baxter, is asked for help when his nephews are kidnapped. Every hour matters as once shipped overseas to perhaps become dancing boys for Afghans, they may be lost forever. Baxter searches among a city’s drop-outs for clues and runs amuck when approached by three pimps. A chance encounter with a fake priest snaring a boy leads Baxter to a rich Arab, Max Fadwell, the power behind the scenes. Max Fadwell runs a profitable trade in supplying youngsters to a wide market. Body parts, slavery or worse await the victims. Just as Baxter finds Dan, Carl, Fadwells huge strong man, captures Baxter confining him to a cell. He escapes, leaving Carl out of action. Fadwell has a country mansion where he keeps his children, guarded by a brutal fellow until sent to their new owners. Baxter enters the building at night to discover its lay-out and has to fight his way off the estate. There is a fire fight inside the mansion and another where they hide the minibus. In a return visit with his comrades, Baxter wipes out the guards with ruthless efficiency but Fadwell disappears. Wazim, the knifeman, terrorizes two of Fadwells young captives on their sea trip to North Africa, until he is buried later by Georgette, Fadwells masculine P.A. In his search for the boys, Baxter discovers Fadwells employee, the fake priest, has taken Simon and another boy, and he and his mates follow a trail to an Arab Sheiks fort. There is a fire fight before the boys are rescued. Baxters nephew, Dan and others, are exported to a slave market in North Africa. Dan helps Nigel to escape from the minibus but is recaptured. Baxter and his comrades rescue Dan in the nick of time from a town square auction. Dan is spirited away by an Arab. Baxter tracks them and saves Dan. Baxter and Simon are captured as they sleep by Fadwell. Surely it is their end, or Baxter’s? Fadwell’s end is the most original in Hollywood!
