Ariadne Oliver, a mystery author, has organized a Murder Hunt game to be staged at Nass House during a local fair, and she asks her friend Hercule Poirot to join the event as an expert along with Captain Arthur Hastings.

At the fair, Poirot meets the household: a couple whose marriage is failing, the lord of the manor and his wife Hattie, an elderly woman and an architect. When the hunt begins, Marlene Tucker, the girl cast as the body, is found dead. Poirot begins to work out who is behind it.
