Plot

To earn his long-awaited retirement, hitman Trabucco eliminates several witnesses against the mob. On his way to his last assignment, Rudy "Disco" Gambola, who is about to testify before a jury at the court of Riverside, California, he encounters Victor Clooney, an emotionally disturbed television censor who is trying to reconcile with his estranged wife Celia.

Trabucco takes a room in the Ramona Hotel in Riverside, across the street from the courthouse where Gambola is to arrive soon. As chance would have it, Victor moves into the neighboring room at the same hotel, and after he calls Celia and she rejects his attempts at a reconciliation, he tries to kill himself. His clumsy first attempt alerts Trabucco, and fearing the unwelcome attention of the police guarding the courthouse, he decides to accompany Victor to quietly eliminate him, but he is repeatedly foiled by a series of inconvenient happenstances.
