Val (Tony Bova) is a regular guy, who likes to imitate the song styling of James Darren and similar '60s crooners when he isn't selling real estate in Southern California. He is not really prepared to go on the front lines of the battle between heaven and hell, but when his son Matthew (Joe Balogh) inadvertently opens a channel to some very California angels (one of them is named "Crystal") while playing with his computer, he really doesn't have much of a choice. His adversary is a local witch named Vyra (Jinx Dawson), is the local representative of Ol' Patch, the devil himself (Myron Natwick). ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

In Hardcase and Fist, it all begins when undercover cop Bud McCall (Ted Prior) has himself incarcerated in Folsom Prison. McCall's mission is to prevent an imprisoned mob flunkey from providing a false alibi for syndicate boss Vincent (Vince Barbi). Meanwhile, Vincent has arranged for one of his henchmen, Tony Marino (Tony Zarindast, who also directed the film) to be locked up in Folsom for the purpose of bumping off McCall. As it turns out, Marino is an old army buddy of McCall's and can't bring himself to do Vincent's bidding. Once this plot point is dispensed with, McCall and his prison-savvy cellmate Eddy Lee (Carter Wong) team up to thwart the string-pulling Vincent and to rescue Marino's girlfriend from her mob abductors. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
