Plot – Gene Watson is obliged by a pair of agents, Mr. Smith and Miss Jones, to complete a deadly mission within 90 minutes, that is to kill State Governor Eleanor Grant, who's at a convention in the great Westin Bonaventure Hotel. He's given a weapon and he's watched by his torturer. Many times Gene is near to the Governor but he can't shoot in the middle of the crowd, so Huey, a black veteran and the hotel's shoeshine, helps him. When he begins to fire, the Governor's special assistant dies and Eleanor learns not only someone's attempting to her life, but her own husband is part of the plot too. The shooting ends with the death of several people, but the Governor is alive and Gene must fight again.
