Surviving through 10 rounds leads to fame and fortune, but it is not an easy competition . In this world, assassination is legal, and each competitor must kill 5 victims, and escape from 5 hunters. The film is centered around Caroline Meredith (Ursula Andress), a competitor looking for her tenth victory, and Marcello Poletti (Marcello Mastroianni), her final target. A romance ensues between them, as Marcello tries to deduce whether Caroline is his hunter.
