The investigation is conducted by two - a local inspector and Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. Everyone is suspected: nephew, household, servants, guests. Everyone has an alibi and everyone conceals something, but at the same time hopes for Poirot and a fair outcome of the investigation. All but the true killer. But Poirot is not in a hurry, he patiently accumulates facts, gets rid of contradictions, frees everyone from a burdensome secret and remains face to face with the killer, facts, logic and a difficult human feeling - disappointment ...
