Story: Five famous literary detective characters and their sidekicks are invited to a bizarre mansion to solve an even stranger mystery.

Despite not knowing him, the worlds most famous detectives cant pass up the offer of a "dinner and murder" invitation from wealthy Lionel Twain (Truman Capote). Each has no idea until their arrival at Two Two Twain who else will be in attendance. Those detectives are: amateur sleuths and New York City socialites Dick (David Niven) and Dora Charleston (Dame Maggie Smith), accompanied by their pet terrier, Myron; Belgian detective Monsieur Milo Perrier (James Coco), accompanied by his chauffeur, Marcel (James Cromwell); Shanghainese Inspector Sidney Wang (Peter Sellers), accompanied by his Japanese adopted son, Willie Wang (Richard Narita); frumpish Brit Miss Jessica Marbles (Elsa Lanchester), accompanied by her invalid nurse, Miss Withers (Estelle Winwood); and San Francisco gumshoe Sam Diamond (Peter Falk), accompanied by his femme fatale sidekick, Tess Skeffington (Eileen Brennan). The dinner part of the invitation runs into problems due to the non-communication between Twains blind butler, Jamesir Bensonmum (Sir Alec Guinness), and Twains new deaf-mute and non-Anglophone cook, Yetta (Nancy Walker). On the murder side, the guests initially believe Twain will try to kill each of them. However, Twain eventually announces his rationale for the gathering: that one of the people at the dinner table will be murdered before midnight, and that Twain will consider himself the greatest detective if his guests, who are now trapped in the house until dawn, cannot figure out who committed the murder, that person also at the dinner table. If one does figure out who committed the crime, he or she will be the recipient of one million dollars and the exclusive rights to the story. So the guests anxiously await the stroke of midnight, with those still alive after that time trying to figure out motive and the opportunity to murder before the rise of dawn, and before the murderer has the opportunity to strike again on one or all of them.

Millionnaire Lionel Twain (Truman Capote) invites the five most brilliant private eyes to a dinner, and a murder. So, Sidney Wang (Peter Sellers) from China, Dick Charleston (David Niven) from New York City, Jessica Marbles (Elsa Lanchester) from England, Milo Perrier (James Coco) from Belgium, and Sam Diamond (Peter Falk) from San Francisco arrive at the remote castle. They are welcomed by Jamesir Bensonmum (Sir Alec Guinness), the blind butler. At nine, a dinner is supposed to be served. The five private eyes and their companionships are in the dining room, wondering what everything is about. Suddenly, Lionel Twain appears and lets the private eyes in on his plan: Exactly at midnight, a murder is going to take place. He offers one million dollars to the one who can solve the murder. Then he disappears. Before long, a problem arises: The butler is found dead, and its long before midnight. Will the five most brilliant minds of our time be able to see through the elaborate set-up staged by a criminal mastermind?
