They Call Him Cemetery


            At a desert island retreat owned by wealthy industrialist George Stark (Teodor Corra), a group of people have assembled for a weekend getaway of relaxation. Foremost among the guests is Professor Gerry Farrell (William Berger), an inventor/scientist who is badly in need of a vacation. While the first night passes uneventfully, with the group sitting around the fireplace at Stark's large seaside house singing folk songs, Farrell is enraged to discover on the next morning that Stark, together with several of the guests, has planned this entire getaway as an opportunity to coerce him in to selling his latest invention: a formula for industrial resin.Farrell is immediately established as a decent man, and although his marriage to his wife, Trudy (Ira Furstenberg), appears to be content, she is actually involved in a secret lesbian affair with Stark's artist wife Jill (Edith Meloni). Actually, none of the relationships are particularly healthy. Stark's business partner, Nick (Maurice Poli), is verbally abusive to his coquettish wife Marie (Edwige Fenech), but does not object to her sleeping with other men, one of whom is the houseboy and manservant Charles (Mauro Bosco). Stark is less of a husband to Jill than he is a business manager. Stark arranges for Jill to have her paintings and artwork publicly displayed and is also a source of constant criticism. The sole happy couple appears to be Nick's co-worker Jack (Renato Rossini), and his wife Peggy (Helene Ronee). Also among the guests is Isabelle (Justine Gall), a young teenage girl who seems to be in Stark's care while her parents are away.As Stark, Nick, and Jack badger Farrell for the secret of the formula by offering him $1 million each from their Swiss bank accounts, Jill makes a horrible discovery on the beach: the dead body of Charles. Having already sent the motor launch away to prevent Farrell from leaving, and with the radio strangely out of commission, Stark has no way of contacting the mainland. So, Charles body is moved into a large walk-in freezer where it hangs with other 'chunks of meat'.A little later, Farrell himself is the next victim. While he is walking alone on the beach, a sniper shoots him down. Trudy and Jill, walking hand-in-hand nearby, hear the gunshot and find Farrell's dead body and run way to tell the others. But the sniper is revealed to be Isabelle, who places Farrell's body in a rowboat and pushes him out to sea.As tempers flare to Farrell's killing and 'disappearance', the killings then escalate with alarming regularity. Peggy, standing on the balcony of her room, gets shot to death by an unseen assailant. Jack arrives on the scene first, and accuses Stark of being responsible, which he denies. Soon after, Marie turns up dead, having been tied to a tree with a knife sticking out of her chest. Then, Jill turns up dead in her bathtub after being electrocuted. Each of the bodies are placed in the freezer. Rather than risk anymore bloodshed, the four remaining survivors of Stark, Jack, Nick, and Trudy hold up in Stark's living room for the night. In this way they believe, the killer cannot strike without revealing him or herself. After bickering with Trudy, Nick storms off into the night. The next morning, he too is found dead, and his body is placed in 'cold storage'.Up to this point, Stark is the most possible suspect when he sneaks out of the house and uncovers a motorboat which will take him to the mainland. As he returns to the house to get supplies, Jack confronts him where he reveals himself to be the killer, having killed off everyone to steal the $1 million cashiers checks from their bank accounts. Before Stark can to anything, Jack shoots him dead. But its revealed that Jack has not been acting alone. After killing Stark, Jack meets in the freezer with Trudy who is the real mastermind behind the whole scheme. Trudy had met with Jack before arriving on the island and offered to kill everybody so she can steal the million dollar cashier checks from Stark, Nick, in order to hand him over the formula for the resin. Jack even was forced to kill Peggy too because she got too close to discovering his plan. Jack then offers to hand Trudy over the three $1 million cashier checks, as she produces the microfilm for the resin formula. But Trudy tries to pull the same trick on Jack, by shooting him in the head, and stealing the three million dollar checks for herself. But having anticipated Trudy's betrayal, Jack manages to shoot her with his gun before expiring. At this point, Isabelle, who had been hiding in the secret passageways in the house through most of the movie, enters the freezer where Trudy and Jack killed each other, and calmly collects the three checks from Trudy's handbag.Epilogue. In an incredulous, off-the-wall twist set months later, as well-dressed Isabelle arrives at the state prison where Farrell is incarcerated. It turns out that Farrell, the apparent 'hero' of the story, actually stole the invention of the resin himself, murdering the true inventor in the process. Together with his wife, Trudy, it was Farrell who concocted the whole scheme of murder and duplicity for the sole purpose to steal Stark's, Nick's, and Jack's money. But Farrell's treachery has not gone unpunished. In their conversion on the island earlier, Farrell had met with Isabelle and had her shoot him with a drugged bullet to make it appear that he would be dead to get away from the others, whom he duped Isabelle into thinking were trying to kill him. But after shooting and drugging the professor, Isabelle pushed him out to sea in an open boat hoping someone would rescue him. Unfortunately for Farrell, his rescuers ended up being the police on their way to Stark's island and, unknown to him, the drug Isabelle used on him made him so delirious which made him confess his crimes of murdering the inventor for the resin and orchestrating with Trudy, who subcontracted Jack, to murder everyone on the island for the money. Isabelle runs off with the $3 million, leaving Farrell behind on death row to be hung for his crimes.

Top Line


            Alan Roberts, Formula 1 racing driver, complains about the car's transmission, and the lack of help from his wife's supervision of the Formula 1 car race from an helicopter. His friend Lorenzo Savoldi had been measuring the time of each passage of the car in the circuit - and around him are his young son and his beautiful wife of dark complexion.(As the credits roll) Lorenzo and his son are aboard a yacht, with a Blonde in a Bikini, watching Alan with three men in a sailing boat, and the same helicopter is flying around.As Jessie, Alan's wife, sets foot on the ground after landing the helicopter, she asks, "Have you any news from Ferguson?" His flight from the Middle-East has been delayed. Meanwhile, in a hospital in Istambul, Karen, a lady doctor, welcomes the arrival of a Nurse dripping wet from the rain, as they prepare for work.Over the Bosphorus, during the night, a passenger plane is hit by the thunderstorm. Mr. Kemal, a man very precise about the exact time displayed by his watches, receives a phone call via radio, informing him first hand of the plane crash. "Another one! With these storms they're dropping off like flies," his informant says. Mr. Kemal mumbles, "We'll only have to dig up the Bosphorus..."A private team - a yacht and a helicopter - are immediately at the crash scene. At the hospital, the only survivor is in bed, his face covered up in bandages. On the bedside table, a portable radio informs him of the plane crash, and the names of two important passengers that were on board, and are presumed dead: Arthur Ferguson the Lawyer, and George Truman the Geologist. This brings him a flashback memory of what happened aboard the plane, moments before the crash. Ferguson, afraid of perishing, gives his daughter's visiting card to the man sitting next to him, and asks him to give her his briefcase that he has attached to his left wrist, in case he dies. Then, the plane does crash.Doctor Karen is all smiles to her patient, whom she addresses as Mr. Ferguson, and informs him that he was found in a state of shock and badly disfigured after a plane crash. She has taken care of his facial injuries, but he is unrecognizable. His loss of memory does not prevent him from demand that his daughter be warned in Geneva. Doctor Karen says she will do so, "to the address on the visiting card" he was carrying. Karen calls on the Ferguson's home in Geneva, where Magda Ferguson is in bed with Alan Roberts.Alan goes to a girls' ballet class, conducted by his wife, and tells her bluntly that Ferguson is in Istanbul for the past three days, after his plane crashed. By chance, Lorenzo walks in, holding page one (and only) of a French language newspaper stating that there was only one survivor of the plane crash. The way Alan's Wife orders him to go to Istanbul, "if he is interested in the diamonds", it's clear that there is something else to their relationship. By the door, Lorenzo's son and half a dozen of the ballet girls are listening... Lorenzo addresses Alan's wife Jessie as "darling", and she refers to her husband who's just left, as "that creep".Late that evening, at a Geneva disco, Harry, a man in a black suit, and his Bodyguard, in a light yellow shirt, are searching for information. A waiter directs them to a man who has been asking questions about Ferguson. Harry invites the man - Alan - to follow him to a private area to discuss about Ferguson, and there without any talking, Harry attacks Alan, and a brawl starts involving Lorenzo, the Bodyguard, and a number of customers. Lorenzo's wife and son are there, but keep away from the fighting.Alan and Magda Ferguson fly over to Istambul, and visit "Ferguson" in the hospital, still in bandages. He does not recognize Alan Roberts, and his daughter asks him whether "he did not forget about the briefcase... the one chained to his wrist, with the diamonds in it".
He does not remember. She tells him that those diamonds were to be handed to the Emir, for the Arab to buy guns. The patient is confused: "But who am I?"
Alan intervenes: "You're a great lawyer, working with big industrialists." Then, the patient signals the visitors to lower their voices. "There may be microphones!"
Magda conducts a brief search for microphones in the obvious places, and finds none. But obviously, a Lab Technician is listening in an adjoining room via a small, hidden microphone.
Magda tells her father of the phone call he had made to her from the airport before taking the flight from Koweït - and now in flashback we know that Ferguson's call to his daughter had been overheard by George Truman - the man who is actually Karen's patient. But Magda seems to be suspicious of her father's behavior. Alan tells him that Mark from Amsterdam is also in this, "to help with the guns", and that Mark had been in prison for drug pushing, while Ferguson was stuck in Koweït.The Police Inspector pays a visit to "Ferguson", and Karen tries to extract information from him, but he politely declines. On the Bosphorus, a boy aboard a yacht takes a call at a mobile phone, and passes it to a man who looks like his father, with a whistle: "Sammy! It's Istanbul."
Magda Ferguson is calling Sam, to hire his services. Alan is with Magda and suggests they call Mark, too.Next day, at the airport, they receive Mark, who comes with his lover, Jenny, a girl with short hair. Spying on their encounter is Harry, too. Shortly after, he takes pictures of the next man to arrive, Sam. But this time, Alan notices him, and gives chase by car, out of the airport and through the meandering Turkish roads. Harry's car has an accident, but he gets out of it uninjured, and manages to escape on foot.Magda has a meeting with Alan, Sam, and Mark in her room at Harem Hotel, while Jenny dances to a light tune on the radio, not paying attention to their conversation."Ferguson" escapes from his room, and makes a phone call from the hospital's public phone to someone to set a meeting at Harem Hotel the next day. But his conversation is overheard again by the Laboratory Technician.
Shortly after, two men pay a visit to Mark's hotel bedroom, and abduct Jenny - just in time, as Mark was coming back to join her. He finds a note, giving him rendez-vous at the pier.Jenny wakes up from sedation on a fishing boat, where a fisherman with bad teeth introduces himself as Mustapha (uncredited), offers her food, and tries to fondle her, all in quick succession. She beats him away, and tries to get out of the boat, fights a man, but is captured.On the pier, Alan sees Harry, armed with a pistol, but the Arab hides again in the marina. They're both being watched, unseen, by the Laboratory Technician.Mark buys the information about the whereabouts of Jenny from a sailor at the marina, and then swiftly attacks the boat with the help of Alan and Sam. They fight four men and than a Skipper (uncredited) in white uniform.
From the pier, Harry shoots the Skipper dead before Alan and his friends can extract information from him under torture.
They liberate Jenny, and discover that the boat was carrying a lot of weapons, enough to arm a small army. Jenny says that "These people want the diamonds, that's all!... They told me I could go if they got the stones."Meanwhile, "Ferguson" leaves the hospital in a taxi, with his daughter, still with the bandages protecting his face.Alan greets the arrival of "Ferguson" at the hotel, saying that "It's good to see you on your feet again." "Ferguson" does not recognize him -again - and his daughter introduces him to the persons present: Mark from Amsterdam, and Sam "who is sometimes called the Karate Professor". She does not mention Alan, nor Sam's companion Jenny. Their meeting is being discreetly observed by the police.Laura Truman engages the services of Omar the Skipper for an underwater search. He shows her the scene of the crash, that he had witnessed.
She gives him a stash of money as an advancement for his work. But their conversation is also being observed by Kemal and an assistant. "White Swan calls Black Eagle," he says over radio to the Nurse at the hospital - thus revealing her as a an undercover police agent.
Meanwhile, Mark invading the bathroom when his wife was already taking a shower, and gently forces her to share the shower with him. (Sex scene cut from the video editions.)"Ferguson" was about to take his bandages in front of a mirror in his hotel room, when he is assaulted by a man with a flick-blade and his face hidden with a white hood. He has been sent by Abdul Pasha, to make him pay for "those diamonds". "Ferguson" fights back, they struggle, "Ferguson" applies a judo arm lock on the attacker, and cuts his throat with his own knife. The man also carried a revolver with a silencer, and Gori arms himself to pay a visit to the next room - where Sam is sleeping - and makes a search in the wardrobe, and in a storeroom. Then he goes back, as silent as he entered.Sam had pretended to be asleep, and checks his diving equipment - noticing a magnetic piece attached to an oxygen bottle for scuba diving. In his pajama trousers, he goes out expecting to surprise his strange visitor, but he is ambushed by him instead.
"Ferguson" stands back, while three other men attack Sam. He knocks two out, and ends up in the hotel's swimming pool fighting with the third man. Alan intervenes, attacking the other men. All the attackers are allowed to escape."Ferguson" goes back to his room and carries the dead man's body out - to drop it in the swimming pool.
Laura Truman was waiting for him in her car outside - thus revealing he is in fact George Truman, who had called his wife the day before.
He tells her he had placed the bomb in an oxygen bottle, that would explode at 20 feet underwater.The police inquest does not go far: the body in the swimming pool can not be identified, though Karen is sure that he is not her disappeared patient, and only Ferguson's daughter is worried that her father is missing.
Only now do Alan and Magda admit the hypothesis that the survivor may have been faking his amnesia.In a fishing boat, Alan, Mark, and Sam Magda and Jenny arrive to search the plane's remains. But a frogman is already at work, while Laura and George watch from a hill top.
The three partners in frogmen suits with fishing spear-guns jump into the water, while the women stay on board in their bikinis. The three men pass by a shark, see some cadavers inside the cabin through the windows.But the lonely frogman has already found (out of the unbroken cabin structure) a handbag from which he extracts a small jewel box. Mark returns to the boat - and so do the others (off camera).
The lonely frogman swims ashore - with the jewel box - but he is being seen from opposite ends both by the Police Inspector, and by Mark now in his swimming trunks.
The lonely frogman is Omar the Skipper, who changes his rubber suit for his blue jeans and sailor cap, before holding up his trophy, shouting to Laura, "Hi!"
Mark comes running at him from the opposite end of the beach, and takes him down. They start fighting, rolling on the sand, then stand up and exchange punches.
George shoots with a Luger, hits the man in shorts, and keeps shooting at the people on the boat: Jenny who is screaming for Mark falls dying in the arms of Magda.Laura opens the box and stares at the diamonds, with George sitting by her, behind the driving wheel, while the Skipper is already taking place on the cargo section of the small white truck.Alan appears at the top of the hill, having run from the boat, in his white trousers and black shoes. The uneven road forces the truck to go slow, and Alan tries to jump on board, but the Skipper kicks him off.
But coming from another side of the road, Sam does manage to jump in, and starts fighting with the Skipper. The Skipper ends by punching Sam out of the truck.Alan returns to the boat. Magda tells him that she saw that the shooter was not her father. Alan tells Magda, «I'll put the Jenny next to Mark. Those two lived together, and will be forever together."
Together, they balance the girl's body overboard into the sea.The GREY HAIRED MAN with his binoculars from a vantage point on the hill, keeps watching these crimes without interfering. This time, he sends the radio message to Royal Eagle, "Alert! It's time for us to move..."
She says to herself, "Oh oh!..."
"We have good news..." says Karen, who was paying attention to the conversation.
The Nurse answers mysteriously: "Rejoice your freedom because it is mine."
"Is that now?" Karen asks.
"It is getting hot."Alan is calling his wife Jessie. He tells her that the diamonds have been recuperated, but that they are in the wrong hands. She reproves his inability to get hold of them.
He tells her where they can meet, at the "west beach" of Silé. She takes the cigar her lover Leonardo was smoking, and inhales from it, once.
Leonardo's wife and son are at the heliport with him, to say goodbye to Jessie.Karen appears at the lobby bar of the hotel at Silé beach, and asks Alan about her patient. Next, the Police Inspector arrives, too, and tells Alan, Sam, and Jessie not to leave the hotel premises until he has solved some troubling points in his inquiry.
Sam tries to make a joke, the Inspector gets irritated: "An helicopter spotted a body on the coast of Silé, one of your group, and also the body of his girlfriend." Sam starts denying it, and the Police Inspector calls him apart to an adjoining room, for a proper interrogation. Then, he reveals to his assistant that Sammy is actually Sam Hellman, an undercover Interpol officer.
The Inspector brings him out of the room in handcuffs, to further ensure the protection of his cover. Alan is surprised that the Inspector is not interrogating the others in private, and Doctor Karen says she's going back to the hospital.
Alan goes to his bedroom, and Magda, in a decollete white dress, wants to make love.The GREY HAIRED MAN arrives alone to spy on the villa that looks like an "eagle's nest" on a hill. Through the walkie-talkie, he says: "I'm transferring the information... It corresponds to what you told us. The dolphins started diving. Watch the gentleman and the lady."
In Silé, there's a discreet surveillance of the hotel, from where Alan and Magda leave in a car.Sam gets a motorcycle from the police, and goes to the villa. He is about to break and enter it, when he is attacked by Alan and Magda. Sam gives them a fantasy explanation about how he managed to get off of the handcuffs, and rob a motorcycle, but they are satisfied with the story.
Alan says that the diamonds are inside the villa, waiting to be split 50/50.
Through the window, they see Laura, in a summer print white tee-shirt, and the Mummy (as Karen called him once) talking, while the Skipper is taking stuff to the boat. Sam intercepts the Skipper, and marches him inside at gun point into the house, being joined by Alan and Magda.Alan and Magda unmask the Mummy, and he declines his identity: George Truman, the Geologist. He had been following Ferguson the Lawyer on orders of the Emir Abdul Pasha (aka Harry), "who didn't trust him too much".
Sam pulls at the attache-case that is being held by Laura, but she holds to it, "I'm his wife, not his daughter." As if that credited her more to the inheritance.
George says that the diamonds are not in the attache-case. Magda points her revolver at him, and demands him to tell where they are, right away. They hear someone outside, which creates a distraction.Magda starts for the door, but is stopped by Alan who fights with her. The attache-case falls to the ground, and the diamonds scatter on the floor.
Magda and Laura start fighting each other for the diamonds. The Skipper fights Alan, who has a revolver in hand. Sam fights George. He tried to pass himself for Ferguson to get at the diamonds, and since he could not do it by himself, he asked his daughter's help.
The GREY HAIRED MAN runs up to the house by the stairs linking it to the beach, while the fighting goes on.Alan's gun fires accidentally, twice, and Laura is fatally wounded in the back. Hearing a car stopping outside, Sam goes out, pistol in hand, and greets the arrival of Karen, who doesn't show surprise at seeing him, and says she's come to see her patient. Their conversation is listened to by THE GREY HAIRED MAN.
Alan is still fighting with the Skipper, and finally shoots him dead. George holds Laura's head, saying her name in sorrow. Then he looks for the culprits of her death.
He runs outside and stops Magda on the stairs, holding a gun, and the small jewel box; he deflects her armed wrist away, and plunges a dagger three times in her stomach. The girl falls, dying.Alan shoots at him, but George runs away. Sam and Karen watch, as George ambushes Alan, and the two men start fighting again. Karen shoots Magda between the eyes, when the dying girl was about to shoot Sam.
Then Karen goes to her car, about to leave, alone - still being watched by THE GREY HAIRED MAN.Georhe and Alan are still punching each other, and approaching the edge of the cliff, and then George falls off to his death on the rocks below.
Sam starts collecting the diamonds from the floor and replacing them in the jewel box, when Alan hits him on the head.Jessie arrives in the helicopter, late for a hotel meeting, but just in time to lift Alan up with a cinch. Abdul Pasha himself is watching him go, and attempts to shoot him. Karen. is by his side.
Alan starts shooting at Abdul Pasha, and Abdul Pasha keeps shooting back at Alan - both missing due to the helicopter movement.The Police Inspector arrives at the villa, looks briefly at the corpses, and is pleased that "there are not many players anymore", and that Sam tells him that "the diamonds are far away", because then, they're no longer under his jurisdiction.Fireworks in the night. Next morning, Alan and Jessie are watching the "International Flower Parade" (announced in English and French) during a reception at their luxury mansion.
Abdul Pasha arrives with a handful of Freedom-fighters, and tries to get the diamonds from Alan, but he manages to escape, mingling with the crowd in the parade.
Jessie tries to go after her husband, but Abdul Pasha's Bodyguard, now wearing a green bucket hat, stops her. Abdul Pasha holds to her arm, and the Bodyguard stars running after Alan.
A woman Freedom-fighter tells Jessie they want the diamonds for the freedom of her people, as she holds the blonde at machine-gun point.Paul, Alan's friend, calls Alan on the street, and they manage to get to the marina where they hope to get into Alan's boat - where there's a sailor with the off-board motor running already...
Karen is there, too, with Abdul Pasha's Bodyguard - both armed with pistols. There's a shoot-out with Alan, and the Bodyguard dies in Karen's arms.
Abdul Pasha and Karen give chase on a similar speedboat. Paul is shot and falls into the lake. Alan is also fatally shot, and the sailor stops the speedboat.Lorenzo talks with Chris, the woman freedom-fighter, and shows her where the safe is. All people are removed to an adjoining room, so that the safe is broken up with explosives.
Lorenzo's son who has a toy revolver, seems about to provoke an incident, but Chris keeps her calm: "We need those diamonds to buy canons, to fight canons, and retake the liberty you've taken from us."
Alan's wife stares as Abdul Pasha - who has returned with Karen to the Robert's home - takes possession of the diamonds.Somewhere in the desert, a caravan of camels meets with a truck with a cargo of weapons. Abdul Pasha tells Karen after inspection, that all is alright, as she sits on a camel, such a new queen of the desert.
He gives her a military salute.
