Soviet Police Captain Ivan Danko sets a trap for Viktor Rostavili (Ed O’Ross), a Georgian drug dealer and crime lord. The ambush severely backfires; Viktor flees the Soviet Union and comes to the USA, after gunning down several other Moscow cops, including Danko’s partner.

Loudmouthed Chicago Police Department Detective-Sergeant Art Ridži? (pronounced “Ridzick”, played by James Belushi) investigates several local murders committed by Viktor’s cartel. Unexpectedly, he finds himself partnered with Danko, who has chased Viktor here from Moscow with the intention of capturing the crime baron alive. Danko is frustrated when his lack of a diplomatic license prohibits him from carrying a weapon. He shares his candid observations with Ridži?: “This Chicago is very strange city. Your crime is organized, but your police is not.”

Danko and Ridži? pursue Viktor and his henchmen around Chicago. Finally, Danko and Viktor commandeer a couple of Greyhound buses, then engage in a high-speed chase…until Viktor is side-slammed by a train. He takes on Danko in a running, Texas-style shootout (Danko uses a Smith & Wesson Model 29 .44 Magnum given to him by Ridži?); Viktor is gunned down. Danko returns to Moscow after exchanging wristwatches with Ridži? as an act of goodwill. Read more
