Mean Mother
1972 Clifton Brown
In Los Angeles, where he contacts a pusher to deliver a packet of heroin he has smuggled from Vietnam, Beauregard Jones finds that he has been double-crossed by the syndicate and is forced to shoot his way to freedom. Returning to his outfit outside of Saigon, he learns that his army buddy, Joe Scott, has been court-martialed for striking a superior. A Viet Cong raid gives Beauregard the opening he needs to help Joe escape and, himself disillusioned with the military, he, too, decides to get out. Beauregard and Joe plan to make their way, separately, to Europe, where they can push a little dope and make a little bread, and they arrange to meet later in Rome. Joe takes off for Karachi, Pakistan, where he is put in touch with Dan Seymour, who stakes the soldier-on-the-run to a trip to Rome if he takes with him a supply of stolen gold. Seymour sends his girlfriend, Therese, with Joe to insure the safekeeping of the smuggled fortune. Beauregard, meanwhile, has made his

way to Spain and has become involved with a counterfeiting operation. When the print plates suddenly disappear, the syndicate immediately suspects Beauregard and chases him to Rome. In Rome, Beauregard again links up with Joe and with Tracy, a former girlfriend from the States. Joe, who is now living with Therese, has hired himself out to a group who want him to help a pretty Albanian ballerina to defect and then to steal the valuable ring she has in her possession. When Joe fails to come across with the ring, the syndicate sends a couple of "persuaders" to his apartment where Therese, alone, is mistaken for the ballerina and is killed. Joe comes in and shoots the killers, and then turns himself in at the American Embassy, knowing he will be returned to Vietnam Beauregard and Tracy are also the targets of a syndicate "hit" because of the missing counterfeiting plates and are forced into a shootout with the gang. Convinced that they always will be on the syndicate's "wanted" list, they begin running and make their way to Canada, where Beauregard at least will be beyond the reach of the military officials. And, In Canada, he figures, he can once again push a little dope and make a little bread, and only get hassled occasionally.
