This very funny play is a spoof on the well-known Agatha Christie book and movie of a similar name. The setting is in the dining room of the Orient Express Restaurant owned by Irish sisters Mary and Molly McGregor assisted by their German waitress Frau Beethoven. The victim is Seymour Twitt, a wealthy industrialist who hires Dudley Sharp, ace private eye to find out who has been sending him threatening letters.
