"Splitting his time as a financial professor and coordinator for a shady spy ring, Robert Elliot (Coburn) is offered a powerful new position as the presidential economic advisor. However, at the behest of his rich and corrupt patron, fat cat E.J. Farnsworth (Wynn), he must first dispatch his four operatives to cover his tracks. The plan to leave no one alive becomes more complicated with the involvement of an intrepid reporter (Grant, shot with more soft filters than Cybill Shepherd) who harbors romantic feelings for Elliot but also wants to bring both him and Farnsworth down. As plans for the quartet of complicated murders commence by pitting the spies against each other, Elliot must find a way to keep his hands clean at an increasingly high cost." (MondoDigital).
"Former secret agent Robert Elliot (James Coburn) is about to become the personal consultant of the American President. There is only one problem - the four people where were witnesses to his corrupt and dirty past. Every one of them could break his career. Elliot invents a very ingenious strategy to get rid of all four of them: his scheme is to get them all to unwittingly kill each other in the course of a single night." (MyReviewer).
