Warning: Spoilers
The Canadian Jeff Wincott is Kurt Harris, a tough copper often asked to call on his martial skills to deal with the raff-raff on the streets. After one particular liquor store hold-up, Kurt takes out two of the bad guys but the third is apprehended by a vigilante "peacemaker" called Jimmie. Jimmie belongs to the Mission of Justice, a private crime control organization headed by Brigitte Nielsen.

Following a bust-up with his boss who caused the death of his informer, Kurt throws down his badge and leaves the force. He goes to have a consolatory talk with his pal Cedric, who is later brutally murdered by Nielsen's thugs. That makes Kurt vow vengeance. He offers his services to the Mission.

Kurt has to pass through a testing walking-the-gauntlet initiation test, and then he is put on active patrol. In time he gets the evidence to convict Brigitte.

Well, Ms Nielsen may have a wonderful pair of bazooms, but the surgeon failed to implant much acting talent. Jeff, on the other hand, did train as an actor before learning martial skills and it shows. The gauntlet scene in particular is both spectacularly well choreographed and tense, and by the end you do care what happens to this guy.
