Arlena Marshall (played by Diana Rigg) is a stunningly beautiful movie star, who indulges in her nature of being promiscuous and does not hide her affections for other men. She enjoys the attention from male admirers, completely disregarding the feelings of her husband and adopted daughter. Patrick (played by Nicholas Clay) is a handsome young man, full of vigor, who, despite having a frail wife named Christine (played by Jane Birkin), cannot resist the allure of Arlena's flirtation. This year, the holiday lodge "Happy Roger" on the small island by the bay of Lythecum becomes the stage for sin, as all the guests seem to have some sort of entanglement with Arlena. Where there is sin, there is Poirot (played by Peter Ustinov), and this time is no exception as he sharpens his wits to observe all the contradictions.   Arlena is dead, which surprises no one. Although everyone has a motive to kill her, each one also has a perfect alibi. So who killed Arlena? In fact, the murderer revealed his true colors quite early on.
