Hercule Poirot compie un'indagine su di un omicidio avvenuto in un resort su di un isola dell'Adriatico. La vittima è una stella dello spettacolo chiamata Arlena. La donna ha una brutta reputazione e nessuno sembra apprezzarne il carattere. Tutti gli ospiti del villaggio sembrano avere un alibi. (fonte: Wikipedia)
