Мисс Марпл расследует убийство Хитер Бэдкок, которая выпила отравленный коктейль, который, как предполагали, предназначался американской кинозвезде Марине Грегг, чьей поклонницей была Хитер. В ходе расследования мисс Марпл обнаруживает много тёмного в прошлом Марины, а также нити, связывающие Марину с другими жителями деревушки.

Китай второй половины XIX века. Тай-Пан - по-китайски означает "человек, которому сопутствует удача". Роль бывшего юнги, ставшего богатым контрабандистом и торговцем опиумом с блеском исполняет австралиец Брайан Браун. Ему противостоит торговый дом Брока (Стэнтон). Гонконг объявлен британской колонией, так как из Кантона английских купцов прогнали. Англичане любят чай, но китайцы хотят его продавать за серебро. Британцы могли бы покупать и так, но за опиум выгодней. Брок, служивший с Тай-Паном на одном корабле третьим помощником, скупил в Лондоне все векселя Тай-Пана и хочет разорить обаятельного баловня судьбы, не гнушаясь ничем, но Тай-Пан красив, обаятелен, силен, умен, по-своему добр, честен и благороден. Он любимец женщин и принял китайский образ жизни, не считая свою расу (а он шотландец) выше. Его любят и британцы, и даже китайцы симпатизируют этому "варвару", как они называют всех, родившихся вне пределов Поднебесной империи.

Georg Biichner concentrates on that moment in 1794 when the Reign of Terror, already well established, spills over into a total blood-bath.

But Robespierre and Saint-Just, the leaders of the extremists, with a ferocious puritanical zeal, spur on ' the wild horses of the Revolution.'
