Riassunto

In a winter storm, a dozen or so people plan to gather at the home of Charles, an art collector, who has arranged for a philanthropist (Roland) to finance the presentation of a painting to a museum. Two people, Peter and Marie, arrive unexpectedly, trapped by the storm, while another two, Ellen (an art expert hired to authenticate the painting) and Nancy (the newspaper reporter who investigated the story) are the only ones of the invited guests who manage to get through it, with the rest unable to get to the house. During the night, the museum curator is killed, with no apparent motive for the murder. Peter, though, is an off-duty police officer, who manages to uncover an unexpected motive and solve the crime.
