On a foggy night in Wales, Michael Starkwedder runs his car off the road and walks to a nearby house seeking help.  Instead, he finds a man murdered and his beautiful wife standing over him with a gun. The dazed woman confesses, but the enraptured Starkwedder believes otherwise and decides to help her by pinning the murder on an intruder. But who really did it?

The other family members all have motives and the police open a Pandora's Box of loves, hates, suspicions and intrigues. Whodunit?

The audience is left to puzzle through the clues and red herrings that Dame Agatha weaves through her clever mysteries!
