Synopsis:
Mob boss Don Lupo wants Wild Dog dead. Unfortunately, Wild Dog has been blackmailed into retirement by his friends Andy Flint and Lou Goddard. Unable to find his target, Lupo hires a detective known as the Catcher to track him down. The Catcher poses as a national media representative and tricks reporter Susan King into revealing information about her Wild Dog suspect list.

Meanwhile, Graham Gault has discovered Wild Dog's real identity. He wants Jack to go back into action doing work for the intelligence agency. Jack agrees provided that Gault convinces Lou and Andy to back off. Wild Dog then returns to action by killing a gang of bank robbers.

The Catcher then kidnaps Andy and uses him as bait to lure Wild Dog into a trap. The trap works and the Catcher leaves Wild Dog for Lupo's men. However, Wild Dog overpowers and kills them. Lupo is furious.
