Disc 1
Murder on the Orient Express
Poirot searches for a killer on a snowbound train.
While traveling from Istanbul to London aboard the luxurious Orient Express, Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) encounters a ruthless businessman who offers him a large sum to expose the person threatening his life. Poirot declines, not caring for the man or his money. But when he is stabbed to death, the detective is determined to find the killer. With the help of an amateur sleuth (Samuel West, Van Helsing), Poirot begins to piece together the train of events leading up to the murder.
Disc 2
Third Girl
Poirot tries to clear a woman framed for murder.
Distressed young heiress Norma Restarick comes to see Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) about “a murder she might have committed.” The detective consults an old acquaintance, crime novelist Ariadne Oliver (Zoë Wanamaker, My Family), who lives in the same building as the young woman and her two roommates. When Norma’s childhood nanny is found dead, apparently by suicide, Poirot believes he has identified the victim. Next he must deduce the killer, while Norma’s family fears for her sanity.
Disc 3
Appointment with Death
Poirot seeks the killer of a woman many wanted dead
Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) accompanies an archaeological expedition searching for the skull of John the Baptist in the Syrian Desert. What the team actually finds is a more recent corpse: the body of Lady Boynton, wife of expedition leader Lord Boynton (Tim Curry, The Rocky Horror Picture Show). The woman had made many enemies during her life, and Poirot has no shortage of suspects. He digs through layers of history to discover who had motive enough to kill.
