A slow-witted Arizona cop is elected to go to Las Vegas to escort a prostitute, who is marked for death by the mob, back to Phoenix as a potential trial witness.
The normally routine exercise of escorting a witness, prostitute Gus Mally (Sondra Locke), from Las Vegas to Phoenix to testify at trial becomes a race for survival for detective Ben Shockley (Clint Eastwood). On a frantic bus ride to city hall, Shockley and his charge brave an all-out assault from police and a corrupt mayor, who fears incrimination by the determined witness.
