Ten years have passed since the death of millionaire,
Cyrus Norman. Cosby, Cyrus' attorney, has gathered
Cyrus' 6 remaining relatives to his New Orleans' mansion
for Cyrus' "reading of the will". To the others
disappointment, Joyce is the sole heir, but, due to a
streak of insanity running in the family, a second will has
been made in case Joyce falls victim to it. This puts
Joyce in danger. Suddenly, Miss Lu, Cyrus' maid,
appears and warns them that the spirits have told her that
one of them will die that night. Following this, Hendrick,
a prison guard, warns them that, "The Cat", a homicidal
maniac has escaped. This sets up Cyrus' relatives with a
night filled with murders, mysteries and intrigue.
