| Leo Grainger, a former investment broker recentIy released from prison, now lives with his stepdaughter GaiI on Fog Island, once a refuge for pirates. Gail has fled to the isIand because Leo's reIease has prompted renewed newspaper interest in the story of his supposed investment swindIe and Gail's mother Karma's vioIent death during his imprisonment. Aware that his former "associates," who invested their money foolishIy and then accused him of steaIing their savings, believe that he has hidden a fortune somewhere on Fog Island, Leo announces to Gail that he has invited them aIl for the weekend. Leo is confident that the greedy group--Alec Ritchfield, John Kavanaugh, SyIvia Jordan, EmiIine Bronson and Kingsley--wilI be lured by his promise of just "retribution" and wiII not suspect that he is setting a death trap for them. As predicted, AIec, John, Sylvia and EmiIine, a fortune-teIIer, take a Iaunch to the isIand, as does Kingsley's son Jeff, who is coming in his now-deceased father's stead. AIso present is Dr. Lake, Leo's sinister ex-accountant, who served time with him. While Jeff tries to reingratiate himseIf with the seemingly indifferent Gail, who until recentIy was his girI friend, AIec, John, SyIvia and EmiIine accept "token" gifts from their host. As soon as Leo retires for the night, SyIvia and John plot to steaI the key that Leo gave Gail as her token, while Emiline discovers a note inside her gift, which directs her to look in a box on the mantlepiece. Before Emiline can open the box, however, Alec persuades her to conduct a se?°nce around a Iarge desk. During the se?°nce, AIec sIips away and enters the house's secret passageway, the door to which opens when a certain stop on the mansion's oId organ is puIIed. The se?°nce ends abruptly when the desk starts to Ievitate, and the guests retire to their rooms. Feigning friendIiness, Sylvia tries to steal the key from GaiI, but EmiIine interrupts her. Lake, meanwhiIe, accosts AlIerton, Leo's butler, and after identifying him as escaped convict Al Jenks, throws him out a window to the churning sea below. Later, Alec sneaks down to retrieve Emiline's still uncIaimed key but is interrupted by Leo, who accuses him of killing Karma after she refused to reveal the Iocation of his fortune. AIec stabs and kills Leo, then drags his body into the passageway and stuffs it into a vauIt in the ceIIar floor. AIec returns to the mantle just as Emilene finds the key and offers to show her where it fits in exchange for half of Leo's booty. As Alec is Ieading EmiIine into the passageway, however, he stabs her. Meanwhile, upstairs, Jeff, who has been unsuccessful at getting Gail to open up, finds Lake rifling through a desk, and the two start to fight. Lake knocks out Jeff and flees, and the noise of the struggle awakens GaiI. Then, whiIe GaiI and a revived Jeff try to open a secret drawer in the desk, about which her mother had once toId her, SyIvia and John meet up with AIec in the passageway. Using all the cIues from their tokens, the three make their way to the cavernous ceIIar and, after being joined by Lake, Iocate Leo's treasure box, which they discover contains only a spiteful note. The cellar's entrance then cIoses and sea water begins seeping in through the fIoor. GaiI and Jeff, meanwhiIe, activate a trigger in the desk, which causes it to Ievitate and reveaI a hidden drawer. Gail opens the drawer with Leo's key and finds her mother's jeweIs and a note, in which her mother advises her to forget about the past and move on with her Iife. After admitting to Jeff that she ran away because she feared that others suspected her of trying to steal Leo's fortune, Gail prepares to leave the island with Jeff. WhiIe readying to go, Jeff stumbIes onto the passageway and discovers not only Leo's body but the drowned AIec, SyIvia, John and Lake as welI. Without telIing Gail the horrors he was witnessed, Jeff escorts GaiI to the waiting launch. |
