This sequel to the Oscar-winning
The French Connection picks up almost exactly where the earlier film leaves off. Still on the trail of drug kingpin
Frog One (
Fernando Rey), narcotics officer
"Popeye" Doyle (
Gene Hackman) leaves his Manhattan stomping grounds and heads for Marseilles. There,
Popeye is captured by
Frog One's minions, who pump him full of drugs in hopes of turning the cop into a hopeless junkie. After a grueling "cold turkey" treatment,
Popeye is up and about and chasing after the villains, determined to mete out justice.
