The plot involves six strangers who arrive at a secluded New England mansion. Each guest receives a pseudonym: Colonel Mustard, Mrs. White, Mrs Peacock, Mr. Green, Professor Plum, and Miss Scarlet. A seventh guest arrives—Mr. Boddy. Wadsworth the butler reveals he knows who the murderer is. The guests search the mansion in pairs, and find themselves locked in the lounge with the motorist’s corpse, until Yvette shoots the door open with the revolver. A cop and a singing telegram girl are murdered with the rope, lead pipe, and revolver, respectively. The group suspects the cook, but they find her dead as well, having been stabbed by the dagger. The house receives a call from J. Edgar Hoover, which Wadsworth takes alone. After distracting the cop successfully, the guests resume their search until another unknown figure turns off the electricity. An evangelist interrupts the gathering, but Mrs. Peacocks shuns him by closing the door and Wadsworth continues his explanation.
