== Plot ==
Inspector [[Dirty Harry (character)|Harry Callahan]]'s testimony against crime lord Lou Janero puts the mobster in prison. Now famous, Callahan becomes the target of Janero's men as well as the news media, both of which he dislikes. After Callahan kills four hitmen during an ambush, the [[San Francisco Police Department|SFPD]] assigns Al Quan as his partner; Callahan advises him to get a [[bulletproof vest]], as his partners often get killed. The pair investigate the fatal [[heroin]] overdose of rock singer Johnny Squares, found in his trailer during filming of a music video directed by Peter Swan at the [[Port of San Francisco]]. Squares' death was not a typical overdose, but actually murder.
 
Dean Madison, Swan's producer, is killed during a robbery in [[Chinatown, San Francisco|Chinatown]]. Callahan kills three of the robbers, and Quan captures the fourth. They discover a list in Madison's pocket with Callahan and Squares' names on it. It is revealed that Madison and Swan are participants in a "[[dead pool]]" game, in which participants predict celebrity deaths in the [[San Francisco Bay Area]]: whether by accident, violence or natural causes. Movie critic Molly Fisher, also on Swan's list, is soon murdered by an intruder claiming to be Swan, causing panic among the surviving celebrities and making Swan a suspect.
