When they're fired upon, Ironside fires back, hitting one of the gang, who is killed.

To catch the gang and find out who the corrupt cop is, Ed Brown volunteers to go undercover, complete with fake mustache, and meets the gang leader -- who carries a gargantuan Magnum. To avenge the death of the gang member, who is also the corrupt cop's brother, Ed is given a rifle and told to assassinate Ironside through his apartment window. But Ironside has a trick up his sleeve . . .
