Plot summary

A former cop (James Brolin), aligns with a street smart young clerk from the New York City dog pound (Julie Carmen) on a harrowing search for his daughter who is kidnapped by a psychopath (Cliff Gorman) after being mistaken for a wealthy man's daughter. His search is met with obstacles as he runs afoul of the police in his pursuit, including a corrupt former colleague bent on revenge against him. Meanwhile, the kidnapper is just as prepared to kill anybody, including his young hostage, unless his colossal ransom demands are met and did the kidnapping out of psychotic revenge for what he saw as the wealthy real estate owner's destruction of the kidnapper's once beloved South Bronx neighborhood through influxes of minorities, ex. blacks and Hispanics, and cheap buying of his family's former properties when the city repossessed them when its former owners couldn't pay their taxes on them.
