Episode Summary
 
What was it that Marina Gregg, the famous film actress, saw just before a murder was committed in her house? What or who caused her expression to change so violently that one observer was reminded of Alfred Lord Tennyson:

Out flew the web and floated wide;
The mirror crack'd from side to side:
"The curse is come upon me," cried
The Lady of Shallot.


A few minutes later a body lay in Marina's large house - the second time a victim of wilful murder had been discovered there. Miss Marple, whose house in St Mary Mead is close to the scene of the murder, finds a perfect opportunity to indulge in the particular kind of 'unravelling' at which she is adept.

Episode Quotes
 
Superintendent Slack: (to Inspector Craddock) And another thing, while you're in St. Mary Mead I suggest you make contact with an old lady there - oh, she looks like what you'd expect. Don't be deceived. She's got a mind like a meat cleaver. She's the sort of person who could help you on this case. Her name is Miss Jane Marple. I'm not pressurising you, but I do advise you to interview her.
Inspector Craddock: (smiling) That's all right, sir - I was intending to - she's my aunt.
