- Synopsis
- A room, a bed, a weary man with his finger on the trigger. The revolver is pointed at his head. The hammer clicks on an empty chamber—apparently the man's time hasn't come yet. Ian, however, doesn't feel like living. This old Russian clown, adrift in a wretched hotel, thought he'd reached the end of the trail. Shots ring out in the hallway. A man rushes into Ian's room and collapses, dead, on the bed. The next instant, his pursuers burst into the room. The old clown lifts his revolver in self-defense—a survival reflex which triggers a long chase. Although Ian wanted to die, danger now gives him the strength to fight back. And he's no longer alone, since he has to save the hide of Lucas, a young priest who took him in after discovering him wounded in the street. The noose begins to tighten around the necks of the two runaways. But a clown's smile is not always kindly.
