Arlene Marshall (Diana Rigg) is a stunningly beautiful movie star who, by nature, is free-spirited and never hides her affection for other men. She thoroughly enjoys the attention from her male admirers, completely ignoring the feelings of her husband and adopted daughter. Patrick (Nicholas Clay) is a handsome young man full of vigor, and although he has a sickly wife, Christine (Jane Birkin), he finds it hard to resist the allure of the flirtatious Arlene. This year, the resort hotel "Happy Roger" located on the island by Lathercombe Bay becomes a stage for showcasing evil, as all the holidaymakers here seem to have some form of entanglement with Arlene. Where there is evil, there is Poirot (Peter Ustinov), and this time is no exception; he keenly observes all the conflicts. Alene is dead, which comes as no surprise to anyone. Although everyone has a motive for committing the crime, each one also possesses a perfect alibi. Who really killed Arlene? In fact, the murderer had already shown his true colors early on.
