Ten people travel by aerial tramway to a snowbound mansion, invited there by a Mr. U.N. Owen to spend the weekend. Framed copies of the children's nursery rhyme "Ten Little Indians" are hung on the walls of each guest's bedroom. One by one, the guests begin dying off. Mike Raven chokes after taking a drink and dies. In the morning, the cable tram is cut, killing the cook, Mrs. Grohmann. General Mandrake conducts a search of the chalet's catacombs, splitting everyone into pairs, ultimately leading to his demise.
