- Stuart Bailey, his prisoner and four others survive a plane crash and are washed ashore on an isolated island. Exploring their haven, Bailey learns to his horror that within 48 hours, it might turn out to be a death-trap.
- Having re-apprehended Pierre D'Albert aka the Bel Air Burglar in Manila, Stuart is accompanying him in handcuffs back to Los Angeles on a commercial flight via Honolulu, D'Albert who will be behind bars for five to seven years for his crimes. On the initial leg of the flight, the pilot is forced to make a crash landing in the ocean during a typhoon, the only seeming survivors, who are able to swim to a nearby island, being Stuart, Pierre, Dave and Amanda Connell, their fourteen year old daughter Barrie Connell, and Dave's business associate Carol Miller. What Amanda and Barrie don't know is that Dave and Carol's subsequent business trip to San Francisco following landing in Los Angeles is only a guise for them to begin an affair. The six discover that although the island is seemingly deserted, it was recently a US Navy outpost, with enough rations to last them for days, although nothing else, like the radio, are working. Stuart is eventually able to determine by the large target painted on the beach that they are on Murano Island, the government which is the using the island as an H-bomb testing site in a few days, meaning that the six have to find a way off the island quickly or be obliterated along with the island itself in the test. As the six try to figure out how to get off the island, they may change their interrelationships from when they boarded the plane on the thoughts of imminent death.—Huggo
