On Halloween, Turtle Wexler is dared to go into the Westing house, where she sees a dead body. The next morning, she reads the obituary for Sam Westing who sells Westing Paper Products, in the newspaper. Sixteen people, including most of the people who live in Sunset Towers are named as heirs in the will and are called to the reading of the will; they have to define their positions in life in order to show up. The other people called in are Otis Amber, the delivery boy; Dr. Deere, Angela Wexler's fiancé; and Sandy McSouthers, the doorman. At the reading the will reveals that Sam Westing was murdered and one of the heirs killed him. The heirs are all divided into teams and given clues to solve the murder, along with $10,000. The winner will get 2 million dollars. In the will the last clue he gives is that it's not what clues they have, it's what clues they don't have that really matters. Turtle and Flora thinks that the will means they should play the stock market. The morning after the party, some heirs meet in the coffee shop to go over their clues, and suddenly a bomb goes off and luckily no one is hurt but everyone was very scared. Later that day, all the heirs are having dinner in the Chinese restaurant on the fifth floor when a second bomb goes off. This time Sydelle's hurt and taken to the hospital. At Angela's wedding shower, Turtle is reaching over to help her sister with a present when Angela shoves her away. The third bomb goes off. No one's hurt except Angela, who's burned and bleeding. When Turtle visits Angela in the hospital, Sydelle figures out that Angela's the bomber. The heirs receive messages to go to another will reading. Dr. Deere takes Chris for a new medical treatment, and judge and Sandy realize that Sydelle is there by mistake. Turtle sets off a fourth bomb in the elevator and she burns her precious braid. She confesses to all the bombings, and is taken to meet with the judge. The judge figures out that Turtle was just protecting Angela, the real bomber. Meanwhile, at the hospital, Angela and Sydelle put all their clues together and figure out that they point to one word: "America." the heirs meet for the second part of the will reading. They reveal their answers, and the will says that all of them are wrong. Their teams are broken apart, and the will says they'd better figure out the answer before someone else dies. Sandy suggests they put all their clues together; when they do, they spell out Crow's full name. Suddenly, Sandy dies. Crow gives herself up to the police as an answer, and everyone else goes back to the judge's apartment. They start to go back over the will and Turtle realizes something's not right, so she calls for a trial. The judge presides, while Turtle interrogates witnesses. Otis says he's a private investigator, Dr. Deere says Westing might not have been dead, and Turtle claims that Crow's not guilty of murdering Sandy. They realize one word is missing from the transcription of the will, and that is fourth. Turtle realizes Westing was four people, three of them were Westing, Barney Northrup, and Sandy and she knows who the fourth one is. She also realizes that the true question of the will is who's going to discover Westing's fourth identity, but she doesn’t tell anyone else. Later that night, Turtle goes to Julian Eastman's house and he is the fourth. Everyone else's lives go on normally. Five years later, everyone seems to be very successful. Angela's gone back to school, Doug's won the Olympics, the Hoos' restaurant is doing well, and Chris, Theo, and Turtle are doing well in school. Several years after that, Turtle stays with the doorman while he really dies. And she finally wins the prize.
