本片以克里斯蒂创造的著名比利时侦探波洛为主角，讲述了一个发生在风景迷人的摩洛哥的破案故事。波艾顿爵士是位考古学家，他携儿子在沙漠中即将有重大发现。波洛也在当地度假。波艾顿爵士第二任妻子被谋杀，财富蒸发。嫌疑犯很多，包括她的家人。只有波洛能发现谁安排了波艾顿太太的死亡之约。Syria, 1937: Hercule Poirot is one of several people present at an archaeological dig to find the skull of St John the Baptist, led by the exuberant Lord Boynton and his loyal son Leonard. The enterprise has been financed by Boynton's rich, rude and overbearing American wife. She bullies her three adopted children, Carol, Jinny and Raymond, as well as the family's nanny. Sarah King, a young English doctor, falls for Raymond and would love to tear him from his mother's apron-strings, and another doctor, Dr Gerard, takes an interest in Jinny, as does a Polish nun, who, with Jinny, is subject to an attack - by white slavers, according to the independent travel-writer Dame Celia Westholme. A mysterious young American, Jefferson Cope, whose link to the Boyntons seems tenuous, completes the group. Only his Lordship has any love for his wife so that, when she is found stabbed to death one blisteringly hot afternoon, Poirot has more than his fair share of suspects to interrogate.
