Few detectives possess the style and charismatic flair to solve a crime as elegantly as Agatha Christie's superstar sleuth Poirot, and when Poirot makes the acquaintance of an accident-prone heiress while on holiday in Cornwall, there's sure to be some mystery and murder involved. Though a twisted ankle puts a brief damper on his vacation, misfortune for Poirot turns to good fortune for heiress Nick Buckly. It seems that Mrs. Buckley has had a few close calls as of late, and it doesn't take much to convince Poirot that foul play is afoot in the Buckly residence. When Poirot discovers a mysterious link between a local pilot who has gone missing, a group of local friends, and some distant relatives, it doesn't take long for him to realize that Buckly's life-threatening accidents have been all too intentional. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide.
