At first Tony balks at 'God''s suggestion, but he changes his mind when his best friend, Harry, is shot through the head.

His peaceful existence is disrupted, however, when his teenaged daughter, Darlene, falls in love with Stash, a long-haired hippie, and two underworld cronies, Hechy and his son Angie, arrive with word that their gangland boss-'God'-wants Tony to do one last job by rubbing out 'Blue Chips' Packard, an imprisoned mobster who is planning to tell all to a Senate crime committee in return for a life of luxurious solitary confinement. Former mobster Tony Banks now operates a carwash and lives with his wife, Flo, in an affluent San Francisco suburb.
