Todos los huéspedes de la vieja mansión tienen motivos para matar a la señora Inglethorp y ninguno posee una buena coartada. Cuando el detective Hércules Poirot llega para encargarse de la investigación, se encuentra frente a frente con los celos, las tensiones y la ambición de una familia que aspira a heredar la fortuna de la fallecida. Todos parecen sospechosos de haber acabado con la vida de Emily, pero sólo uno de ellos puede ser el asesino.
