Output (English): On a oneweek Mediterranean pleasure cruise aboard the yacht of movie producer Clinton Greene Coburn, the guests include actress Alice Wood Welch, her talentmanager husband Anthony McShane, talent agent Christine Cannon, screenwriter Tom Parkman Benjamin, Toms wife Lee Hackett, and film director Philip Dexter Mason. The trip is, in fact, a reunion. All were together at Clintons home one year before, on the night a hitandrun accident resulted in the death of Clintons wife, gossip columnist Sheila Greene. Yvonne Romain, a former Hammer horror actress, appeared as Sheila Greene in a cameo performance. Once the cruise is under way, Clinton, a parlor game enthusiast, informs everyone that the weeks entertainment will consist of The Sheila Greene Memorial Gossip Game. The six guests are each assigned an index card containing a secret in Clintons words, a pretend piece of gossip that must be kept hidden from the others. The object of the game is to discover everyone elses secret while protecting ones own. Each night the yacht anchors at a different Mediterranean port city, where one of the six secrets is disclosed to the entire group. The guests are given a clue, then sent ashore to find the proof of who among them holds the card bearing that nights secret. The game for that night ends when the actual holder of the subject secret discovers the proof. Anyone who has not yet solved the clue receives no points on Clintons scoreboard for that round. Following the revelation of the first card, YOU are a SHOPLIFTER, suspicion begins that each guests card does not contain pretend gossip but in fact an actual, embarrassing secret about each guest. When Clinton does not return from the second evenings installment of the game, where the second card was revealed to be YOU are a HOMOSEXUAL, the guests return ashore and discover Clintons corpse. Before contacting authorities, one reveals that his card reads, YOU are a HITANDRUN KILLER. This begins a macabre game of musical chairs of sorts, with guests jousting over who lays claim to which dirty little secret. Paranoia grows over the obvious implication that both Sheila and Clinton were killed by somebody on this yacht. The game being played is actually just a portion of a more elaborate puzzle created by Clinton, including additional clues that are everpresent and the suggestion that any guest could win the game without even leaving the yacht, If youre smart enough, Clinton taunted. Although his own diabolical game did not end as Clinton planned, characters continue to discover these clues, resulting in another death aboard the ship and the revelation of the identity of the guest who killed the host.
