“He has battled with the screen's heavies. Starred opposite its most desirable beauties. Lived thru the full range of human emotions. Now, he is ready for the big time!”
Poldo, a poor man, takes up a job as a security guard at a high-class apartment complex. However, he soon finds himself protecting his employer's son from the violent attacks of a nightclub owner.
