Modern comedy thriller, set in a remote country mansion. Ageing horror film star Romney Marsh gathers a group of theatre people at his home, ostensibly to read a new play. However, it is a trap: surrounded by a moat full of piranha and grounds patrolled by killer dogs, Romney intends to find out which of them has been sending him press cuttings about the late actress Mabel Monk. That plan goes awry, when actress Tanya is found with her throat cut and Romney himself is poisoned. The remaining guests, one by one, are being stalked and killed by one of their number.

It is left to veteran stager Edith to figure out which of them it is and why: eventually identifying Mabel Monk's illegitimate son Freddy as the culprit. More than that, though, Edith wants revenge for the death of her beloved Romney and the play ends as she tricks Freddy into being eaten by the piranha!

Written by Norman Robbins. Director Norm Gilbert.
