A year after Sheila is killed by a hit-and-run driver, her wealthy husband invites a group of friends to spend a week on his yacht playing a scavenger hunt mystery game. The game turns out to be all too real and all too deadly.

Sheila Green (Yvonne Romain) is killed in a hit-and-run car accident while walking home from a party one night. A year later, her multi-millionaire husband Clinton (James Coburn) invites a group of friends (James Mason, Raquel Welch, Dyan Cannon, Richard Benjamin, Joan Hackett, Ian McShane) to spend a week with him on his yacht. Clinton loves to play elaborate games and he assigns everyone a secret--one is an alcoholic, another an informer and so on--that they are not to share with anyone. Every day for the next six days, they will call into a port where they will be given clues to discover one person's secret. The game takes a deadly twist when a murder takes place and it all has to do with the game they have been playing and the secrets that Clinton assigned at the outset.—garykmcd
