The story tells how Polrat solves the mystery of Bir Roger Ackroyd's murder. Sir Roger Was an unpopular man, and there wore many who had good enough causo to wish for his removal. By a sories of deductions, which prove both entertaining, interesting and amusing, Poirot eventually succeeds in Inying hle hands on the culprit.

El Brendel and Gorge E. Stone, prominent players, and Earle Fuxe, Purnell Pratt and Warren Hymer, all add immensely to the dramatic in- tensity and unboudied hilarity which mark this swirling pagrast of breath-taking entertainment.
