MURDER-MYSTERY. Adapted from the short story by Agatha Christie. Mrs. Pengelley confides to detective Hercule Poirot that she fears her husband is trying to poison her. Mrs. Pengelley has no proof that she is being poisoned, only that she becomes ill after eating and that a previously full bottle of weed killer is now half empty. Poirot agrees to take Mrs. Pengelley’s case and travels to her home the next day only to discover that she was found dead just 30 minutes prior to his arrival. Poirot blames himself for arriving too late to save Mrs. Pengelley and vows to bring her killer to justice.
