The tiny Caribbean island of St. Honore is a tropical paradise where nothing ever seems to happen. Until old Major Palgrave tells Miss Marple the strange story of a suspected double murder. As rumors begin to circulate, the elderly sleuth is not alone in suspecting things are not as they seem. And when a death that is indisputably murder occurs, Miss Marple finds an unlikely ally in the cantankerous crippled millionaire Mr. Rafiel. This dramatization stars June Whitfield as Miss Marple and Windsor Davies as Major Palgrave.
