Synopsis:

This modernised version is set around the seemingly cutthroat milieu of professional football, populated by various backbiting, self-seeking types. They include the ferocious, multi-millionaire club owner George Barton (Kenneth Cranham, craggy of voice and face); Iris Marle, style guru to celebrities; Lucilla Drake, stepmother to the murdered woman and her sister, Iris; Lucilla's sullen son Mark; Ruth Lessing, Barton's mousy personal assistant; the high-flying Sports minister Stephen Farraday and his wife Alexandra. As each one becomes a jittery suspect after the poisoning of Barton's young wife so the film becomes largely an exercise in neurosis.

A young woman is mysteriously poisoned in a fashionable restaurant by drinking a cyanide-laced glass of champagne at her own birthday party.
