"When a sensational young heiress flees to an Egyptian riverboat for a private honeymoon, she's shocked to see a boatful of familiar faces. The characters are a stereotypical bunch - an overbearing matron, her put-upon niece, a socialist who looks down on the rich, a clergyman, a doctor, newlyweds and the jilted girlfriend. Each has a skeleton in the closet and is any of them who he or she seems?

Murder On The Nile is not all plain and smooth sailing. During the course of the voyage, murder and mayhem ensue. By the time the steamer reaches its destination, an audacious conspiracy ascertains that the murderer shall not go free."
