In the sun-drenched allure of Acapulco, Mexico, famed Belgian detective Hercule Poirot (Sir Peter Ustinov) finds himself lured away from his tranquil memoir-writing by his trusted assistant, Captain Arthur Hastings (Jonathan Cecil). Hastings plunges Poirot into a vibrant soiree, teeming with an eclectic mix of his newfound acquaintances ranging from the enigmatic writer Janet Crisp (Concetta Tomei) to the celebrated American actor Charles Cartwright (Tony Curtis). The party's intoxicating energy, however, abruptly curdles into a chilling dread when Reverend Babbington (Philip Guilmant), a fellow guest, abruptly succumbs to a fatal poisoning. The sinister plot thickens when a similar fate befalls Dr. Strange (Dana Elcar) at another gathering graced by an eerily similar guest list.

With his razor-sharp wit and unparalleled deductive prowess, Poirot must navigate the labyrinth of secrets and lies woven by this diverse group of individuals.
