A man is murdered in a Marrakesh Kasbah. Six people board a bus from the Casablanca airport destine for Marrakesh. One of them is carry $2 million to fix an United Nations vote. Andrew Jessel (Tony Randall) is with Iranian oil on leave to see Marrakesh. There are mysterious agents after the carrier. Andrew finds a dead man in his hotel closet and Kyra Stanovy claims their rooms have been switched. It's her boyfriend Philippe and she convinces him to move the body.
Andrew is a sucker and I don't like it. I get the allure of a beautiful woman. She could talk me into moving a TV but moving a dead body is something else. This can't happen unless he's the obvious suspect or that he's a secret agent. It doesn't make sense if he's an innocent nobody and that's what Randall needs to play. With a few fixes, this could be a workable premise. Randall can play the fish-out-of-water with a femme fatale. The pieces are here but it's not as fun when I'm forced to question the premise constantly.
