The story of an ambassador's wife who must hide the corpse of her stepdaughter's unlikeable stepfather from her husband, who is bringing important visitors to their country home.[2]
TV Guide wrote, "an entertaining film version of Agatha Christie's 1954 stage play about a diplomat's wife who hides the corpse of her stepdaughter's father. Though there is no Miss Marple or Hercule Poirot to push this programmer along, it still moves at a lively pace."[3]
