Synopsis:

Alain Delon stars in this French/Italian prison-break film. When his son is falsely imprisoned, Delon contrives to bust the boy out. As the title indicates, what comes around goes around in this tense programmer. Delon also cowrote and co-produced. The film was released in Europe as Comme Un Boomerang.

Under the influence of drugs, a teenager, Eddy, kills a policeman. His father, Jacques, pleads extenuating circumstances and nearly succeeds in gaining the confidence of the policeman's widow. But the press reveals that Jacques is an ex-gangster who has spent time in prison.

Jacques Batkin persuades his friend to defend Batkin's son in a murder case in Paris but his plans are all threatened when his own reputation is brought into question by the press. Screenplay by Jose Giovanni, Alain Delon.
