Messenger asks a friend to check into a list of names before leaving on a trip. When his plane is blown out of the sky, the matter becomes more serious. As his friend checks into the list, each seems to have died in mysterious circumstances.

Trivia

According to some reports, Frank Sinatra's heavily disguised cameo appearance in film was actually the work of facially similar actor Dave Willock; Sinatra only appeared at end of the film in unmasking sequence where he peeled off makeup. See more »

Goofs

Crew or equipment visible: During many of the horse-riding close-ups, a wire (presumably some kind of safety device) can be seen behind the actors. See more »

Crazy Credits

The opening credits are handwritten, appearing as if cut out of the
villain's notebook. Also during the credits, several faces of major and
minor characters float by. The makeup worn by Tony Curtis, Burt Lancaster,
Frank Sinatra and Robert Mitchum always manages to be on screen with each
actors credit. See more »
