The premise

Residents at a posh Utah hotel become suspects when a girl is found murdered during a pool party. Local sheriff Jess Holmes takes charge of the investigation and must discover who among the terrified guests and staff -- including bodacious vixen Harriet Ames, the hotel's bitter, crippled proprietor, visiting lawyer David Hewson and his secretary, Beth -- is the culprit, even as murders continue to take place.

Horror Vault's take

When a young woman is found dead at an upscale Utah resort, Sheriff Jess Holmes finds himself surrounded by a cast of glamorous and deeply suspicious guests and staff. As the body count quietly climbs, every charming smile and nervous glance becomes a potential clue — or a deadly distraction. This late-50s whodunit blends noir atmosphere with pulpy tension, keeping viewers guessing until the final reveal.
