Nikky Ferris (Hayley Mills) is traveling with her aunt Frances Ferris in Crete. Frances is collecting folk music for the BBC. They arrive at the local hotel The Moon-Spinners as it hosts a large wedding celebration. The owner reluctantly gives them a room. Uncle Stratos (Eli Wallach) is pushing to eject the two Englishwomen. The ladies are joined by handsome fellow British travel Mark. Nikky finds Stratos rummaging through their bags. She stumbles across a dark mystery.
Disney teen star Hayley Mills is trying to do something a little more serious. It is still Disney but it does have some edge. It has romance. It has danger. It's not anything great. It tries to be Hitchcockian but it's more like Nancy Drew. I don't particular love Hayley in this and her aunt is a little annoying. She's a bubbly teen trying to act. It does have Wallach doing a villain. This is interesting especially for Hayley Mills fans.
