Synopsis for Jim Dolan: "The Plot to Kill Jim Dolan"

Jim Dolan is set up for an unsuccessful ambush attempt, and just misses having a cinder block dropped on him from a rooftop, then chases one of the would-be killers, across some rooftops, into a second ambush. He thrashes three thugs, throwing one of them over the side, and beats some info out of the last one standing. He pays a surprize visit to gang czar Orranto, interrupting his meeting with the mysterious foreign agent, Zara. He punches out Orranto and dodges a dagger thrown by Zara, then chandelier-swing-kicks two reinforcement thugs, before wrapping up the fight. Lt. Moran arrives to take charge of the scene, but meanwhile Zara has escaped.
