Miss Marple witnesses a woman being strangled on a train, but as no body can be found, the local police don't believe her story. Undaunted, she calculates that the body must have been disposed of in the grounds of Ackenthorpe Hall (Rutherford Hall in the novel) , which adjoins the railway line. She contrives to obtain a post as housemaid in the Hall and searches for the body - which she finds, of course.
