Paul experiences friendliness turning to malice when he is oppressed with demands from all sides after winning a fortune in the sweepstakes.

A casual relationship with Paul is taken too seriously by Valerie Phillips (Marianna Hill) and her industrialist father Cal Phillips (Ralph Bellamy) when the couple join a safari after two weeks together in Rome.

When Alex Ryder (Bruce Dern) availed of the opportunity to fake his death and collect substantial insurance money, his wife Molly (Anne Helm) turns to Paul for help.
