MURDER-MYSTERY. Adapted from the short story by Agatha Christie. One evening, famed dancer Valerie Saintclair staggers into the Oglanders’ drawing room with blood on her dress and manages to murmur, “Murder!” before collapsing. Later, police discover the dead body of Henry Reedburn in the mansion next door, and suspect Saintclair is the killer. To prove that his fiancée Valerie Saintclair is innocent, Prince Paul of Maurania hires famed detective Hercule Poirot to investigate. Don’t miss one of the few Agatha Christie stories in which Poirot allows a murderer to go free!
