Marple is extremely proud when she is appointed to the board of trustees of a merchant marine training vessel whose mission is to rehabilitate young criminals. As in all of her endeavors, Miss Marple intends to take an active role in the job and even shows up to the board meeting dressed in naval blues. When a fellow trustee is poisoned just prior to his making some kind of revelation, Miss Marple decides to use her position to spend time on the ship. This upsets the vessel's fragile social network as she dispossesses blustering Captain Rhumstone from his quarters.

蛮想给5星的，这个版本的马普尔小姐特别有趣，尤其这一集，是第四集，导演也拍了无人生还和煤气灯下；说是非阿加莎作品，不过很有趣，马普尔真是全才，马术冠军，击剑冠军，会倒腾化学各种～船长巨好笑，尤其是他们几个人一直轮换睡仓时
马普尔小姐彻底成为特工老太太，几乎无所不能的打探消息却依旧推理成分为零，偏重于喜剧（甚至闹剧）的色彩也彻底抛弃了推理迷观众。
剧情简介：当马普尔被任命为一艘商船的董事会成员时，她感到非常自豪，这艘商船的使命是让年轻的罪犯重获新生。和她所有的努力一样，马普尔小姐打算在这项工作中扮演积极的角色，甚至穿着海军蓝制服出席董事会会议。当同一位受托人在他做出某种披露之前中毒时，马普尔小姐决定利用自己的职位在船上呆上一段时间。这扰乱了船上脆弱的社交网络，因为她把气势汹汹的Rhumstone船长赶出了船舱。当两名船员后来被发现也被谋杀时...
影史最正宗的Snuff Film：受害人因吸入含毒鼻烟而死亡。……有粉对鲁斯福德版本的马普尔过分喜感表示不适，个人倒很是受用。毕竟小说影化之后要砍掉太多有价值的文字，无论怎样追求正宗仍难免明显缺憾。与其如此，倒不如发挥影媒所长喜剧点燃，让观众看到一些原著难见本店独有的东西。
