            Cry Uncle!, based on the Michael Brett novel, "Lie a Little, Die a Little", follows the misadventures of a fat, hairy slob of a private eye named Jake Masters, who is hired to clear up a phony murder rap.The NYPD is hunting for an eccentric millionaire, Jason Dominic, in connection with the brutal murder of a cocktail waitress named Lucille Reynolds, and Dominic wants Masters to find the real killer. Masters is sent to La Guardia Airport to pick up Cora Merrill -- Dominic's trigger-happy troubleshooter. After an initial case of mistaken identity, Jake, his trainee nephew Keith and the statuesque Miss Merrill head out to Dominic's palatial (but shabby) yacht.Dominic tells them the police believe he killed Lucille because she had filmed an orgy featuring him with three drug-addicted whores, who then blackmailed him out of $50,000. But Masters thinks its a much bigger extortion scheme aimed at scaring a wealthy sucker with a phony murder rap.Armed with a printed frame from the film with which to identify the hookers, plus the names of a couple of guys who may be involved, Jake, Keith and Cora team up to work through the list of likely suspects.Jake tracks down Lucille's boyfriend, who's staying with two of the hookers, but he gets snuffed before Jake can learn anything. Jake next follows the hooker Connie Landfield to a sleazy apartment where he finds her sprawled naked on the bed. Thinking she's in a drug stupor, Jake "takes advantage of the opportunity", little realizing that she's dead. Then a gunfight erupts in the adjacent flat, and another hooker suspect, Lena Right, is seen fleeing the building.Jake eventually tumbles to the fact that cold-blooded Cora has been leading him on -- working on the orders of Jason Dominic to knock off the blackmailers after Masters has located them for her!

They arrive to the country late in the evening, and stop in a small town. Robert, Marie, and Shirley pick up groceries at a market, where Shirley finds a sinister face mask that she decides to buy as a joke. Meanwhile, Nicky goes to the bar across the street for a drink, and is harassed by two homophobic men whom he beats up.They arrive at the remote farmhouse Robert has recently purchased from Otis, a local man whose father has died, and whom Robert has hired to build a large schooner, a project which is being housed in a barn on the property. Jay Alsop, an engineer and friend of Robert's, arrives to oversee the boat's progress. A lumberman providing the wood for the boat, Mac Macauley, tells Marie of a local rumor involving a young woman who was assaulted by the unhinged Otis, and hints that he may have been responsible for a murder.Jay develops a sexual interest in Shirley, while meanwhile Marie finds herself attracted to Mac. The following day, Jay goes down to the barn to check on Otis's progress on the boat; there, he is strangled by a killer donning the mask Shirley bought the day before, his body hung from the rafters so as to appear as a suicide. That night, the rest of the group dresses up for a formal dinner at the house. After dinner, Marie and Robert go for a walk on the property. Meanwhile, Shirley puts on a tango record and performs a striptease for Nicky. The two dance together on the house's second floor, and jokingly apply makeup to each other's faces.

When they arrive at the house, Robert and Marie are confronted by the killer. Robert discovers Nicky's body upstairs, and is thrown to his death out of the second story window. The killer then returns to the ground floor, where he reveals himself to be Greg. He tells Marie that he plans on taking her out into the lake and committing a murder-suicide.The next morning, Mac arrives at the house, and finds it empty.
