Miss Marple est en vacances à la Barbade, dans une pension tenue depuis peu par Molly et Tim Kendal. Parmi les autres clients se trouve le major Palgrave, personnage bavard qui lui raconte pourquoi il porte un œil de verre. Il explique à miss Marple qu'un assassin se trouve probablement dans l'île, et s'apprête à en montrer la photographie, mais il s'abstient quand il voit arriver un groupe de quatre autres touristes. Le lendemain, le major Palgrave est retrouvé mort, d'une crise cardiaque semble-t-il.Actors

A group of ten disparate people, strangers to each other, have all been summoned by a mysterious host named Mr. Owen to travel to Africa and join him on a safari he is hosting. Things turn ominous from the beginning, however. First their native guides abandon them, then more natives cut a bridge line across a deep ravine (their only way in and out of camp). As a result, the ten guests find themselves isolated in their hunting camp. In addition, their host, Mr. Owen, is strangely absent. Following their dinner, by means of a gramophone recording, an inhuman voice accuses each person of a murder that they each had caused and escaped justice. Events go from being unsettling to deadly when the guests start dying one by one in the fashion of the English Nursery Rhyme 'Ten Little Indians'. As each death occurs, the ten small Indian dolls that adorn the centre of the dining table disappear as each person dies which leads the guests to realize that they are being executed at the hands of a homicidal maniac among them - and that perhaps Mr. Owen is, in fact, one of them.
