A gangster wants to pull a bank heist, so he coerces some acquaintances into helping him. Meanwhile, a cop is searching for a means to bring down said gangster, who has always eluded arrest.

Then there's a bunch of street fighting, some knives and guns, a guy who climbs over the edge of a high-rise, the same guy hanging out of the window of a speeding bus who then jumps from the bus to some hot chick's Jag, lots of striped clothing, and a red and black Toyota Celica.
