Ten people - eight strangers and two married domestics-attend a posh weekend at a remote castle. What's the occasion? Each has unwittingly been invited to his/her own murder. Who's behind this dastardly plot? You'll have a devilishly tense time figuring it out, while watching this clever Agatha Christie adaptation.
Ten Little Indians refers to the ten invitees, the familiar nursery rhyme and to Indian figures affixed to a serving plate at the castle. After the fatal poisoning of a guest, one figurine goes eerily missing. One down. Nine to go. Who's next? That's a fate Hugh O'Brien (TV's Wyatt Earp), British screen veterans Leo Genn, Wilfrid Hyde-White and Stanley Holloway, and Goldfinger girl Shirley Eaton desperately hope to avoid.
