1953. Toute la population de Saint Mary Mead est en émoi. Le château de Gossington, qui domine la ville, va servir de décor à un grand film historique. Les stars et l'équipe technique arrivent tout droit de Hollywood pour commencer le tournage. Une jeune femme aborde la célèbre actrice Marina Rudd, qu'elle avait jadis rencontrée, boit un verre en sa compagnie et meurt peu après. L'autopsie révèle alors que la malheureuse a été empoisonnée. L'inspecteur Delbert Craddock, de Scotland Yard, est dépêché sur les lieux. Il y retrouve sa tante, la célèbre miss Marple, dont il aime les confitures mais apprécie peu qu'elle résolve les énigmes policières plus facilement que lui. Bientôt, c'est au tour de la secrétaire de Marina de succomber à une mort violente...
