Plot
A Toronto detective (Richard Crenna) searches for a serial killer who shoots prostitutes. The detective is also determined to arrest the pushy pimps and a few undercover cops get killed as they try to infiltrate the hooker trade.
Cast
Production
Crenna said he was drawn to the film partly because his character survives the events of the plot, something that few of his characters had done recently. Mendeluk used both actresses and real-life Toronto prostitutes during filming. Shooting took place during November and December 1978 in Toronto, and production ended in February 1979. It was based on the novel The Sin Sniper by Hugh Garner.
Reception
TV Guide rated it 1/5 stars and called it a "typical crime thriller".
Crenna later said that he thought the content was not Canadian-specific enough.
