Old miss Marple is on a train ride when she witnesses a murder in a passing train. She reports it to the police but they won't believe her: since no body can be found there can't have been any murder, right? As always, she begins her own investigation. The murder was committed while passing Ackenthorpe Hall and miss Marple gets herself a job there, mixing cleaning and cooking while searching the house for clues.

Although the evidence appears to be overwhelming in the strangulation murder of a blackmailer, Miss Marple's sole 'not guilty' vote han gs the jury 11-1. She becomes convinced that the real murderer is a member of a local theatrical troupe, so she joins them in order to gather information. The clues lead back many years to a single disastrously unsuccessful 1951 performance of a dreadful play written by the group's hammy director, H. Driffold Cosgood. Although at that time, several of the current cast members were only children, more murders follow before Miss Marple ultimately exposes the killer. 英国影片。片长90分，根據Mrs. McGinty's Dead改編，原著是波羅故事。因影片将主角变为马普尔小姐和剧情的更改引起原小說作者克里斯蒂强烈不满，影片本身也遭遇票房和评论惨败。主演Margaret Rutherford还出演過另外3部以马普尔小姐为主角的电影，其中1部亦是根据波洛故事改编(「葬礼之后」)，另1部是原创剧本。80年代在多部电视剧中扮演塔彭丝的Francesca Annis也在本片中扮演一个小角色。

本片被很多人认为是莎士比亚戏剧改编中成就最高的一部，由莎士比亚的五部戏剧浓缩而成。讲述英国国王亨利四世即位后，全国叛乱不止，形势动荡，王子却熟视无睹，与其密友胖武士弗斯塔夫终日豪饮作乐。弗斯塔夫是喜欢吹牛而无所不为之辈，他向亨利四世进谗言说王子平叛不力，把所有功劳归于自 己。后来亨利四世驾崩，王子继位为亨利五世，弗斯塔夫以为自己能加官封爵，岂料被昔日旧友一脚踢开。原来亨利五世力图振作，那段放荡日子从此不复返，弗斯塔夫只得郁郁而终。导演用自己的方式重新诠释了这个小丑故事，但对他持同情态度，因为导演指出弗斯塔夫的行径正是他对抗日益改变的世界的护身符，从他与王子之间的友谊变化，影射出这个世界早已今非昔比，往日的骑士精神也因为强权政治的诡诈绝情而荡然无存。
