We are first introduced to a shadowy figure as a mellow blues tune sooths the ears. Every once in a while switching to a picture of a figure cookin' some nice bell peppers and beef. A cigarette is passed between the two men and than its time for food eating. The shadowy figure from the beginning is introduced as Spike Spiegel, rouge bounty hunter, and his counter-part Jet Black ex-cop turned bounty hunter. Seems a bounty has appeared for the pair of hunters a man by the name of Asimov Solenzer has stolen a large quantity of the Red Eye a drug created by the Syndicate. Now Spike and Jet have thrust themselves into a man hunt across Tijuana to try to catch this bandit, but will a woman get in Spikes way?
