THE BIG RACKET follows Officer Nico Palmieri as he investigates an extortion racket in a small Italian village where drug lords and thugs have terrified the villagers into silence. Finally, one man has the courage to identify the criminals, and in retaliation they brutally rape his daughter. When Palmieri's corrupt superiors order him to abandon the case, he rounds up a vigilante band and they take on the crooks in a final bloody showdown. (official distributor synopsis)
