Wealthy and bored, Paul (James Caan) and Jennifer Montgomery (Katharine Ross) while away their hours in a New York City apartment filled with pinball machines and other amusements. The couple's routine is upended when door-to-door saleswoman Lisa Schindler (Simone Signoret) drops by and is suddenly taken ill. The Montgomerys let her spend the night. And soon, the sophisticated Lisa and her hosts embark on a new set of very adult -- and very dangerous -- games.
Sherlock Holmes is approached by a pretty young woman with a bizarre tale. Violet Hunter is a governess by profession and she has recently been offered a position by Jephro Rucastle to act in that capacity at his country home, the Copper Beeches. Apart from offering an enormous salary, Mr. Rucastle also has a number of odd requests. It would be necessary for Violet to cut her hair short and from time to time she would have to sit with them in the parlor wearing a particular electric blue dress. Homes doesn't have much to offer by way of advice but after taking up her appointment, Violet urgently requests his assistance when she discovers that someone may be locked away in a far corner of the house.
