查尔斯‘巴德’

Although the evidence appears to be overwhelming in the strangulation murder of a blackmailer, Miss Marple's sole 'not guilty' vote han gs the jury 11-1. She becomes convinced that the real murderer is a member of a local theatrical troupe, so she joins them in order to gather information. The clues lead back many years to a single disastrously unsuccessful 1951 performance of a dreadful play written by the group's hammy director, H. Driffold Cosgood. Although at that time, several of the current cast members were only children, more murders follow before Miss Marple ultimately exposes the killer.　　英国影片。片长90分，根據Mrs. McGinty's Dead改編，原著是波羅故事。因影片将主角变为马普尔小姐和剧情的更改引起原小說作者克里斯蒂强烈不满，影片本身也遭遇票房和评论惨败。主演Margaret Rutherford还出演過另外3部以马普尔小姐为主角的电影，其中1部亦是根据波洛故事改编(「葬礼之后」)，另1部是原创剧本。80年代在多部电视剧中扮演塔彭丝的Francesca Annis也在本片中扮演一个小角色。

故事发生在19世纪中叶，居住在维多利亚东北部地区的居民们生活苦不堪言，奈徳凯利（希斯·莱杰 Heath Ledger 饰）也是其中的一份子。从小，奈德就见识过了执法者的昏庸和腐败，在16岁那年，他由于莫须有的罪名被投放到了监狱中，这次经历让奈德迅速成长，成为了能够担负起家庭重担的可靠存在。然而，平静的生活并没有维持多久，当一个警察企图强暴奈德的妹妹凯特（凯瑞·康顿 Kerry Condon 饰），被愤怒冲昏了头脑的奈德狠狠揍了警察一顿。 　　因为这件事，奈德开始了流亡生涯，和好友斯蒂夫（菲利普·巴兰蒂尼 Philip Barantini 饰）与乔（奥兰多·布鲁姆 Orlando Bloom 饰）一起，他们建立了惩奸除恶的“凯利党”。凯利党的存在让当局大为震怒，他们发誓要不惜一切代价，将他们捉拿归案。
