In the show, an announcement is placed in a local paper stating the time and place when a murder will occur in Miss Blacklock's Victorian house. The victim is not one of the house's several occupants, but an unexpected and unknown visitor. What follows is a classic Christie puzzle of mixed motives, concealed identities, a second death and a determined Inspector Craddock grimly following the case's twists and turns. Craddock gets some help from Miss Marple, who is on hand to provide the solution — at some risk to herself — in a dramatic final confrontation.
