Rosemary and Laura are hired by an expatriate Englishwoman to do the landscaping for a new terraced restaurant on a seaside hill near San Remo, Italy. They sign up for a tour of the area, conducted by former professor and TV personality Doctor Llewellyn, who lost both jobs under clouded circumstances. After the body of Janice Alexander, a member of the tour group and reportedly the long lost daughter of another notable expatriate, British diplomat Sir Basil Slavinsk, is discovered with her head crushed, the authorities are brought in. Laura identifies Alexander as a former member of the police who was possibly in the country on an assignment. The number of suspects is reduced by one after Sir Basil, now identified as an impostor and petty crook, is found at the base of a cliff having jumped or been pushed to his death.
