In the prologue, a hiker reports finding a dead woman on the Yorkshire moors to local police, who identify strangled Alice Ruber. Belgian detective Hercule Poirot (Peter Ustinov) is asked to check out a blue-hued diamond belonging to Sir Horace Blatt (Colin Blakely), a millionaire industrialist. Poirot informs Blatt the jewel is fake.

A suspicious diamond and a death by strangulation distract detective Hercule Poirot from what should have been a rest cure at a tropical resort. Energized by the prospect of solving a particularly puzzling crime, our intrepid investigator pursues every lead on the less-than-idyllic island of Sandy Cove…

Hercule Poirot is called in to investigate a case for an insurance company regarding firstly a dead woman's body found on a moor and then a important diamond sent to the company to be insured turns out to be a fake. Poirot discovers that the diamond was bought for Arlena Marshall by Sir Horace Platt and Arlena is on her honeymoon with her husband and step-daughter on a tropical island hotel. He joins them on the island and finds that everybody else starts to hate Arlena for different reasons - refusing to do a stage show, stopping a book, and for having an open affair with Patrick Redfern, another guest, in full view of his shy wife. So it's only a matter of time before Arlena turns up dead, strangled and Poirot must find out who it is…
