A number of people are invited to a house on a remote island. When they arrive there they are told their host is yet to arrive, while waiting they hear a recorded message from a Mr U.N. Owen who accuses them all of having got away with murder! Then the deaths begin, each time one of the guests dying a statue of a little Indian is destroyed...
The remaining guests including Judge Quincannon (Barry Fitzgerald), Dr Armstrong (Walter Huston) and Vera Claythorne (June Duprez). One of their number of U.N. Owen - Unknown - and is killing them off but who is it?
A complicated and intricate plot with some twists and surprises. Good performances and the right amount of humour, plus a creepy setting. Maybe not the very best version of this story on film but certainly a contender.
