Although the evidence appears to be overwhelming in the strangulation murder of a blackmailer, Miss Marple's sole 'not guilty' vote han gs the jury 11-1. She becomes convinced that the real murderer is a member of a local theatrical troupe, so she joins them in order to gather information. The clues lead back many years to a single disastrously unsuccessful 1951 performance of a dreadful play written by the group's hammy director, H. Driffold Cosgood. Although at that time, several of the current cast members were only children, more murders follow before Miss Marple ultimately exposes the killer.　　英国影片(💽)。片长90分(🈶)，根據Mrs. McGinty's Dead改編(biān )，原著是(shì )波羅(🦇)故事。因影片(piàn )(☔)将主角变为马普尔小姐和(🔨)剧情(qíng )的更改(gǎi )引(yǐn )起原小說作者克(kè )里斯蒂强烈不(bú )满(mǎn )，影(😾)片(piàn )本身(💑)也(➕)遭(zāo )遇票(💅)房和评(🚁)论惨(🗣)败。主演Margaret Rutherford还出演過另(😤)外3部以马普尔小(👆)姐(jiě )为主角的(🈁)电影，其中1部(bù )亦是(🧔)根据波洛(luò )故事(🗝)改编(「葬礼之后」)，另1部(📼)是原创剧(🥪)本。80年代在多(🚒)部电视(shì )(🤷)剧(jù )中扮演塔(🐞)彭丝的Francesca Annis也在本(běn )(🧦)片(piàn )中扮演一个小(xiǎo )角色。
