Archer

Archer is involved with a vicious extortion ring that preys on families of young activists. The extortionists approach parents, telling them their offspring are imprisoned on drug charges in Turkey, but a large sum of money can bribe their way out. When the money is collected, the young people are murdered. Archer gets help from an underground newspaper editor played by Marjoe Gortner.
