Thriller / horor, Velká Británie/USA, 1966, 92 min.



Barnaby Harrison, a 12-year-old orphan who has inherited $5 million, is brought to a tropical island by Police Sgt. Jack Travis to stay with his uncle and guardian, Maj. Kevin Harrison, a former British intelligence commander who is next in line to inherit Barnaby's fortune. Chrissie, a youngster Barnaby's age, travels on the same boat to visit her attractive Aunt Justine; the only other person on the island is a legless native who lives in an abandoned hotel near a shark-infested swimming pool. One day the major hypnotizes Barnaby and tries to get him to walk off a steep cliff; but Barnaby is stopped when Justine calls to him from below. When Barnaby accuses his uncle of trying to kill him, the major cheerfully confesses, explaining that he needs the $5 million and suggesting that they make a game of his murder. Though Chrissie and Barnaby have been quarreling continuously since their arrival on the island, Chrissie, upon learning of Barnaby's dilemma, becomes his ally and suggests that they kill his uncle. But despite the aid of the shark, poisoned mushrooms, tarantulas, and fire, all murder attempts from both sides end in failure. Agreeing to end the game in a draw, the exhausted major decides to forget about the inheritance. As his uncle leaves the island, Barnaby wishes him luck. After his departure, the two children begin to argue again.
