Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka

A classic situation is created in this crime mystery by Jose Maria Forque when a police inspector (Luis Prendes) and his assistant (Jose Lopez-Vasquez) rush to the scene of an attempted murder. What makes the scene all the more interesting is that it is a popular nightclub, and the intended victim is the club hostess. Once all the revelers and club workers are locked in so that the inspector can interrogate everyone and get at the truth, a series of disparate characters is paraded across the screen. One by one, each tells his or her version of what was going on when, as the suspense remains at a continually-present but not quite heart-stopping level.
