Year: 1997

A man is about to be killed by a Mafia "committee" headed by an unflappable Godfather in a squalid and desolate auto junk yard. The man is desperate and has no way out other than to pray to his Guardian Angels. Only their providential intervention can change his bitter destiny. And this, in fact, happens. The two Guardian Angels, the "paladins" of emergency action, answer the man's plea and immediately hurl themselves down upon the execution place to save his life.
