Crusty old Will Wright invites a whole passle of relatives to his Ponderosa like
ranch for a family reunion. Most of them he can't stand but they are his heirs
and he wants to look over and decide who gets what in the will.
One of them is Hans Conreid who has a premonition and asks his friend Bret Maverick to come with him and exchange identities.
Sure enough just like in Ten Little Indians heirs start getting dead. And it's a good group of familiar character players who are the heirs.
It never gets down to all of them being dispatched and James Garner does come up with the solution before they all die. Will Wright and Hans Conreid do make an interesting pair of cynics. They have more in common than they first realize besides being blood relations.
Nicely done story.
