Cesare Cardinalli recibe por teléfono un curioso encargo. Tiene que matar a tres testigos en tres sitios muy lejanos entre sí: Nueva York, Las Vegas y Miami. Los asesinatos traen de cabeza a la policía, que le sigue la pista, pero parece desorientada. Pronto, la misma Mafia que le ha encargado los asesinatos comprende que Cardinalli puede ser más peligroso que las personas cuya ejecución encargaron.
