A lighthearted murder mystery aboard ship where an eccentric amateur detective unravels a poisoning case with wit and charm rather than darkness.

She sets off to investigate at the ship where he had just come from. The fourth and final film from the Miss Marple series starring Margaret Rutherford as the quirky amateur detective.
