The Glove is a 1979 action drama film that follows the story of Sam Kellogg (played by John Saxon), a bounty hunter who is hired to catch a notorious serial killer named the "Black Glove Killer." The killer has been terrorizing the city for months, and the police are unable to catch him. Kellogg is a tough and determined bounty hunter who is known for his unconventional methods. He has a reputation for being able to catch the most dangerous fugitives, and the police reluctantly turn to him to catch the Black Glove Killer. Kellogg agrees to take on the job, but only if he can do it his way.

Kellogg's way involves using a giant steel glove that he has designed himself. The glove is designed to smash through walls and cause maximum damage. Kellogg plans to use the glove to break into the killer's hideout and capture him. The police are skeptical of Kellogg's plan and warn him that it's too dangerous, but Kellogg is determined to catch the killer no matter what it takes.

Kellogg teams up with a former football player named Ben Shockley (played by Roosevelt Grier), who is now a preacher. Shockley is a gentle giant who serves as Kellogg's muscle during the operation. Joanna Cassidy plays the role of a journalist named Karen Hart, who joins the team to document Kellogg's unusual methods.

The trio sets out to catch the killer, but things quickly go wrong. Kellogg's methods lead to destruction and chaos wherever he goes, and the police are hot on their tails. Kellogg's plan seemed foolproof, but the killer is more cunning than he initially thought. As the three of them get closer to the killer's hideout, they begin to realize that they have been set up.

The film's climax takes place in the killer's hideout, where Kellogg and Shockley must fight for their lives against the Black Glove Killer and his henchmen. The action sequences are fast-paced and intense, and the film's suspenseful ending will leave viewers on the edge of their seats.

The Glove is a classic action film that features a unique premise and memorable performances from its lead actors. John Saxon delivers a strong performance as the tough and determined bounty hunter, while Roosevelt Grier brings a sense of humanity to the role of the gentle giant.

Joanna Cassidy's character provides an interesting twist to the film, as her character is a journalist who is documenting Kellogg's unconventional methods. Her character serves as a reminder that the actions of the main characters are being observed by the public, which adds to the tension and suspense of the film.

The film's soundtrack, composed by Barry De Vorzon, is a highlight of the movie. The music adds to the intensity of the film's action sequences and helps to create a sense of excitement throughout the film.
