A vicious international quarter of criminals known as "The Big Four" pursues world domination but first must eliminate the only man who can foil them: Hercule Poirot. In the most dangerous case of his career, the little detective will not be diverted by poison, a falling tree, electrocution or a hit-and-run. Poirot appears to meet his end when a bomb explodes in his apartment. Hastings, devastated, vows to avenge him -- but can he succeed without Poirot?

Synopsis
A disoriented man arrives at Hercule Poirot's home repeating the Belgian detective's address before passing out. When he awakens, he warns Poirot of a plot by four major criminals to hold the world and its wealth ransom.
