Here's a little story. It's not about washboard abs. It's certainly not about damage control or the benefits of vitamins. It's a story about a hitman:

It’s the 1960’s in Nevada and JOE KREBS is a no-bullshit lonely hit man with a couple final contracts before he pulls out of the business. Joe is hired by JAKE ROTHSTEIN, right hand man to the infamous, rich EDDIE SANDS (future Casino owner).

Jake sends Joe to kill a Chinese businessman who unfairly won a sex slave from another Chinese businessman in one of Rothstein’s back room poker games. Joe carries out the hit with skill and efficiency and returns the sex slave. Joe’s final job isn’t a kill job. Jake wants Joe to track down a prostitute named STACY, who stole $20,000 from the big man, Eddie Sands. Eddie is infatuated with Stacy, he wants her back.

Joe tracks Stacy to a bar in San Francisco. The two develop a relationship as they drive back to Vegas. Before they reach city limits, Joe decides to skip town with the girl and head for Mexico.

Months later, Eddie Sands tracks down Joe and Stacy in Mexico. Joe and Stacy fly back to Vegas to confront Eddie. But, before they can, Joe is taken down by a squad of cops, arrested for a bogus charge set up by Eddie and Jake Rothstein.

Joe spends half a year in jail. He is finally freed on a technicality, only to discover Stacy has died of a drug overdose a few days before. Joe blames Stacy’s death on Eddie Sands and everyone in Eddie’s “circle.” Joe shacks up with Stacy’s hooker roommate, CARLY, and vows to kill every one of Eddie’s underlings.

Joe starts with Stacy’s pimp, PETEY BOB. Joe kills Petey Bob’s bodyguards and interrogates Petey Bob in the bathroom stall of a night club. Petey Bob confesses that Jake Rothstein was the person who set up Joe’s bogus arrest. Joe shoots Petey Bob dead in the stall.

Next Joe heads to a Vegas mansion where many of Jake Rothstein’s bodyguards as-well-as Joe’s old hit man buddies hang out. The goonish bodyguards help Joe stock up on weapons. Joe finishes loading the guns, then shoots and kills everyone in the mansion.

Joe finally catches up to Jake Rothstein, who meets him in an empty parking complex. Joe is overpowered and drugged by the rest of Rothstein’s henchmen.

Joe wakes up in an abandoned insane asylum on the outskirts of Vegas, where he is being held by Eddie Sands’ “interrogation” DOCTOR. Joe brakes free, knocks out the doctor, and kills the henchmen guarding the place.

Eddie Sands has had enough of Joe’s killing spree. Eddie is now infatuated with Carly, and he offers to fly Joe and Carly down to Mexico, where he’ll pay off Joe to deliver Carly to him. Joe and Carly head to Mexico, and Joe kills all of Eddie Sands’ Mexican henchmen.

Carly heads back to Vegas and Joe “disappears.” When Carly gets home, Eddie Sands sends his bodyguards to pick her up at her apartment. She is taken to Sands’ warehouse where he keeps a white tiger. Eddie likes to play a game where he locks naked women in the cage with his tiger for 24 hours. He’s about to do this to Carly when Joe appears, having followed the bodyguards to the warehouse. Joe locks Eddie in the cage with the tiger. Joe hands Carly a wad full of cash and then walks off into the night.
