Миссис Мак-Гилликади во время поездки на поезде стала свидетелем убийства - она видела, как в купе вагона поезда, который шёл по параллельной ветке, мужчина задушил женщину. Полиция отнеслась к показаниям старой женщины без особого доверия, но всё-таки проверила их, не найдя никаких следов преступления. Прибыв в Сент-Мери-Мид, миссис Мак-Гилликади рассказывает об увиденном своей подруге мисс Марпл и просит её разобраться в случившемся. В отличие от полиции, мисс Марпл, хорошо зная свидетельницу, абсолютно уверена, что той не могло почудиться, присниться, и что она не стала бы выдумывать эту историю, чтобы привлечь внимание. Но, повторно обратившись в полицию, пожилые дамы узнают, что проведённое тщательное разбирательство не дало никаких результатов. После убийства должен был остаться труп, но ни трупа, ни следов того, что его кто-то прятал, полиция не обнаружила ни в поезде, ни поблизости от железнодорожных путей. Мисс Марпл берётся за дело сама.
