Miss Marple the amateur sleuth has amazed everyone for years with her insight into murder cases. Why a murderer has never thought of knocking her off when she is on the case is a mystery. This is the story of Miss Marble quite different than the Agatha Christie character. A group of relatives and friends of murderers is formed to kill her for revenge at Christmas time in an old castle in northern England. Several people with same intent are acting alone.Things become very lively as attempts to knock her off fail due to miscalculations, mishaps and gross misunderstandings. In the meantime the proposed victim remains unscathed. A perfect merry story for the holidays. .
While trying to make it big on Broadway, dancer Abby Fouchet finds herself falling in love, falling in rehearsal (!), and trying to outwit a clever killer out to destroy the man she loves.
