The gang is, in turn, attacked and wiped out by another, Irish gang, led by Farrell and Flynn, because some of the cigar-boxes contain drugs, which the I.R.A. are planning to exchange for a new model of gun with laser sights. Regan traces the gang via the sale of some stolen cigars and the trail leads to a house in the country where the Irishmen are expecting a plane to arrive. All along Regan's girlfriend Jane has been having bad dreams about harm coming to him and she may well be proved to be right. Written by don @ minifie-1 See less
