Phoenix cop Ben Shockley is well on his way to becoming a derelict when he is assigned to transport a witness from Las Vegas. The witness turns out to be a belligerent prostitute with mob ties—and incriminating information regarding a high-ranking official.

Eastwood has a good time playing a dolt in the surprisingly funny The Gauntlet, which otherwise has the typical Clint trappings.
