Al volver del rodaje de una película, una joven actriz atropella a un perro pastor alemán de pelaje blanco. Inmediatamente lo lleva a un veterinario para que le cure las heridas y coloca anuncios para localizar a su dueño. Como nadie lo reclama, se queda con él, pero un día ataca sin motivo a una mujer negra. Entonces la joven descubre, horrorizada, que el perro está adiestrado para atacar a personas de color. Curtis Hanson (director de "L.A. Confidential") colaboró con Fuller en la adaptación de la novela de Romain Gary. (Cinema International Corporation)

More sophisticated movie than one would expect from the purely second-rate shallow controversial teaser of "Goro the white dog is killing Afroamericans. Fuller's great victory is that it works on both intended levels. In the first half of the genre, from "her point of view" it is a traditionally built disturbing thriller of old-fashioned style, which is in many respects a better adaptation of King's Cuja than the film Cujo itself and fully satisfies the slowly built atmosphere, long shoots, exposed gob here and there, chilling growl and ingeniously saddened Morricone background music. In the second metaphorical half "from his point of view", it is a multi-layered allegory of racism and xenophobia, which is more complex, disturbing and impressive than many "kind of serious" films addressing the same subject. The icing on the cake is the relativizing ending, which gets deep under your skin.
