Wealthy Carter Ellsworth can’t turn down an offer of $25,000 in cash from Jerry, the Convincer. All Ellsworth has to do is lend his cabin cruiser to take ashore a load of marijuana. But the boat’s landing is interrupted by a policeman who takes a bullet in the head from Jerry’s revolver. He’s the same cop who recently had given Ellsworth a speeding ticket and whom Ellsworth jokingly and publicly said he would have killed had he had a gun.
