One of England's most adept businessmen, Rex Fortescue, suddenly dies of poison. It looks like everyone had a motive, especially his second wife. However, when she dies of a different poison, the Fortescue relatives start looking nervously at each other. When Gladys the maid is found dead with a clothespin on her nose, Miss Marple ventures to the Fortescue household, searching for a murderer -- or two.
