Jack rechnet ab (1971)
Jack Carter ist in London als Auftragskiller bei Gerald Fletcher tätig. In seiner Freizeit vergnügt er sich mit Anna der Geliebten seines Chefs. Er kehrt in seine Heimat Newcastle zurück, um der Beerdigung seines Bruders beizuwohnen, der betrunken bei einem Autounfall ums Leben gekommen ist. Jedoch glaubt Jack nicht an einen Unfall. Er fängt an, auf eigene Faust zu ermitteln. So kommt er auf die Spur des Gangsters Eric Paice, dem er zum Unterweltboss Cyril Kinnear folgt. Jack muss erkennen, dass er sich mit seinen Ermittlungen in gefährliches Terrain gewagt hat. Doch der knallharte Profi lässt sich nicht so einfach abschrecken und als er herausfindet, wer hinter dem Mord an seinem Bruder steckt, gibt es nur noch ein Ziel: Rache!
