Sam Roffe, president of a multi-national pharmaceutical corporation, is killed while mountain-climbing.

Suspicion falls on the Roffe cousins, all of whom want to go public with the company and sell their stock at a huge profit. Since this would be against her father’s wishes, Elizabeth rejects their advice and decides to keep the company within the family.
