For a Christmas present the American heiress Ruth (VanAldren) Kettering is given the most coveted ruby in the world – the “Heart of Fire” – by her loving father. She then boards the famous Blue Train to meet a lover on the French Riviera. Enroute, she meets an English country girl possessing a fortune from a recent inheritance. The women leave behind an unfaithful husband, an industrialist father, and a host of other shadowy international figures with mysterious pasts. But when the Blue Train arrives in Nice, one of them is dead, and vacationing Hercule Poirot is drawn into service once again. On this train, no one is who they seem, and only Detective Poirot can disentangle the disguises and deceptions.
