Gerald Wade is among the many invited to the Chimneys estate for a party. Rented by Sir Oswald and Lady Coote for the season, it is rather the place to be. Unfortunately, during his stay there Gerry has garnered the teasing of his friends for a particular talent of his: to oversleep. One day the set decides to “fix” the matter with a little joke. The plan is to set out eight alarm clocks in Gerry’s room, all set to different times … as early as 6:30 a.m.! When they go to check on him, his friends discover that Gerry hasn’t overslept this time. In fact, he has been murdered.

Le cose peggiorano con l'arrivo della sensuale Nofret, la giovanissima nuova concubina di Imhotep.

The only one able to see through the blinds and obscurities is Miss Marple, an elderly but sharp-eyed spinster.
