Description:When Lord Morley and his wife are apparently murdered, Inspector Winship (Don Knotts) and his friend Dr. Tart (Tim Conway) are sent to investigate. The interview Morely's daughter Phyllis (Trisha Noble) and the odd collection of staff members. As Winship and Tart bumble about, the members of the staff are found dead one after another. To add to the mystery, their bodies disappear. Before long, everyone is dead except Phyllis. Winship and Tart try to protect her, only to have her pull a gun on them and confess to the killings. At that moment, the mysterious shadow that has been lurking all during the investigation reveals himself to be Lord Morely. He knew Phyllis was the murderer, so he allowed everyone to think he was dead and worked out a plan with his staff (all of which are actually alive) to help him prove Phyllis is guilty.

Reviews for The Private Eyes

Review - Private Eyes, The

Stupid. A five-year-old might find the comic fumblings of Knotts and Conway enjoyable, but I didn't. Their "investigation" failed to find any clues. The only remotely interesting thing about the movie was that it was filmed at the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina.
