Hercule Poirot is on his way from London to the upscale Kingfisher Hill estate via luxury passenger carriage. The famous investigator has been called in by Richard Devonport to establish Helen, his fiancée, as not being responsible for his brother Frank's death. Poirot's investigation will only last a few days before Helen is hung, but there's a peculiar catch: he has to keep the rest of the Devonport family in the dark about his genuine motivation.
A distraught woman cries out for her to get off the coach, threatening to have her life taken if she stays in her seat. The coach is forced to halt. Even though nobody is hurt for the remainder of the journey, Poirot's curiosity is piqued and his worries are eventually realized when a body is found with a gruesome message attached...
Could there be hints to the identity of Frank Devonport's killer in this fresh murder and the strange occurrence on the coach? Can Poirot identify the real offender in time to spare Helen from the hangman's noose if she is innocent?
