The Yorkshire Police are frantically trying to catch a psychopath dubbed "the Yorkshire Ripper." Forced to call in reinforcements from across the Pond, they send for a brash Dallas Detective. A shoot-from-the-hip cop who has first-hand knowledge of this killer. But when Detective Venable arrives on the scene, Chief Superintendent Grace Gentry, finds that trying to control Venable is like trying to harness a Texas tornado.
