Plot
Charles Bigger is small of stature and in bad health, but his youthful career as a hit man was phenomenally successful. He has spent recent years living quietly in Arizona, where the climate is good for his tuberculosis. Summoned back to New York by a mob boss, known simply as The Man, Bigger travels to the small town of Peardale under the alias Carl Bigelow. His mission is to kill Jake Winroy, an ex-bookmaker who has agreed to turn informant against The Man's crime establishment.
