The Case of the Scorpion's Tail (1971)

When a plane detonates mid-air, leaving no survivors, Lisa Baumer, an unfaithful wife, is informed of her husband's million-dollar insurance policy - a fortune now in her name. She embarks on a journey from the foggy streets of London to the sun-drenched city of Athens, with plans to collect her cash windfall and rendezvous with her clandestine lover. However, the insurance company, harboring suspicions of sabotage, dispatches their sharp-witted investigator, Peter Lynch, to shadow Lisa in Greece. As the Mediterranean heat intensifies, so does the danger. Lisa suddenly finds herself in the crosshairs of her husband's vengeful lover, Lara Florakis, and her menacing bodyguard, Sharif. In the whirlwind of threats, Peter emerges as her unexpected protector. But when Lisa’s life is abruptly snuffed out, and the money disappears, the plot thickens. The local police Inspector Stavros, Interpol Agent John Stanley, and the enigmatic French photojournalist, Cléo Dupont - who's entwined romantically with Peter - are thrust into a convoluted investigation. As Lisa had planned a hasty escape to Tokyo with her newfound wealth, questions loom large. Was she responsible for her husband's death? And if so, who was her co-conspirator? With Peter as the prime suspect, the labyrinthine streets of Athens become a battleground of suspicion and intrigue. 'The Case of the Scorpion's Tail' weaves a web of deceit and murder, where truth remains as elusive as the scorpion's tail.
