A seductive woman shows up at a ranch party and takes a ride with the rancher.

Her photographer boyfriend Doug arrives but their reunion is interrupted by an urgent phone call.

He demands that she fulfill one more contract hit, on union leader Jeffrey Baine.

In the morning, Baine's security chief Eddy wants to run a check on Angela.

Angela continues to make Baine fall in love with her to set up the kill.

He searches Angela's house and finds multiple passports as well as her dossier on Baine.

Hit Lady was written by Mimieux, and directed by Tracy Keenan Wynn.

"[4] Mimieux had been writing for several years prior to this film, mostly journalism and short stories.

"[4] She wrote a thriller called Counterpoint about a female killer who used her attractive appearance to get close to her victims.

"I created a totally amoral creature who killed people like you'd swat a fly, with no remorse, no regret," said Mimieux.

He had developed a strong reputation as a screenwriter, his credits including The Longest Yard, The Glass House and The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman.

His father Keenan made a cameo appearance as he wanted to be the first actor ever directed by his son.

[1][3] The Los Angeles Times called it a "tightly structured, richly textured melodrama".
