A series of vicious killings seem to have no connections; but as T.V. and the press report on the murders it is discovered that all of the victims were either former Nazi's or members of their families.

The story of a merciless vendetta ...... a group of vigilantes have banded together to track down those who had a part in the massacre of over six million Jews.  We relive the horror and the paralyzing fear of those terrible days.

Notes
Bob Monell from I'm in a Jess Franco State of Mind had the following amusing remarks about this film: "Crazed use of stock footage, some of it reversed [!]. I asked Alain Petit, one of the scriptwriters, about this and he told me Eurocine ignored his screenplay and just cut and pasted it together. Demented music also. Harrison looks miserable."
