A group of strangers become stranded in a boarding house during a snow storm, one of whom is a murderer! The suspects include the newly married couple who run the house whose suspicions nearly wreck their perfect marriage. Others are a spinster with a curious background, an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef, a retired Army major, a strange little man who claims his car has overturned in a drift, and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. Into their midst comes a policeman, traveling on skis. He no sooner arrives, that the jurist is killed. To get to the rationale of the murderer's pattern, the policeman probes the background of everyone present and rattles a lot of skeletons. Another famous Agatha Christie switch finish!

Leon Tolchinsky is ecstatic.  He’s landed a terrific teaching job in an idyllic Russian hamlet.  When he arrives he finds people sweeping dust from the stoops back into their houses and people milking upside down to get more cream.  The town has been cursed with chronic stupidity for 200 years and Leon’s job is to break the curse.  No one tells him that if he stays over 24 hours and fails to break the curse, he too becomes stupid.  But, he has fallen in love with a girl so stupid that she has only recently learned how to sit down.  “The brightest, freshest, funniest, wittiest, warmest, and happiest to do on Broadway in many a day.” – CBS TV

A 19-year-old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father.  “He doesn’t stand a chance,” mutters the guard as the 12 jurors are taken into the bleak jury room.  It looks like an open-and-shut case—until one of the jurors begins opening the others’ eyes to the facts.  “This is a remarkable thing about democracy,” says the foreign–born juror, “that we are notified by mail to come down to this place—and decide upon the guilt or innocence of a man; of a man we have not known before.  We have nothing to gain or lose by our verdict.  We should not make it a personal thing.” But personal it does become, with each juror revealing his own character as the various testimonies are re-examined and the murder is re-enacted.  Tempers get short, arguments grow heated , and the jurors become 12 angry men.
