When McCloud, on stakeout at a grocery store, spots a suspect in a three-year-old Taos bank robbery-bombing and arrests him, the thief's accomplices pull every trick in the book to spring or kill the robber.
McCloud befriends a model who's being used as a pawn in a drug-smuggling ring in which mules leave drugs inside planes to be picked up by the cleaning crew.
A deadly game of Button Button Who's Got the Button, centered around a priceless statuette coveted by a murderous thief, a crooked cop, various operators and an 8-year-old pickpocket.
