Andrew Crocker-Harris is an aging Classics master at an English public school, and is forced into retirement by his increasing ill health. The film, in common with the original stage play, follows the schoolmaster's final few days in his post, as he comes to terms with his sense of failure as a teacher, a sense of weakness exacerbated by his wife's infidelity and the realization that he is despised by both pupils and staff of the school., 1h31

The plot is based on an actual homicide case from Victorian England. Blanche Fury (Valerie Hobson) is a beautiful and genteel woman, forced into menial domestic service after the death of her parents. After a succession of failed positions, she receives an invitation to become governess for the granddaughter of her rich uncle Simon, whom she has never previously met due to an unspecified dispute between him and her father. On arriving at the impressive country estate she first encounters Philip Thorn (Stewart Granger), whom she mistakes for her cousin Laurence. In fact, he is the illegitimate and only son of the former owner of the estate, Adam Fury. Thorn tells her the legend of the founder of the Fury family, killed in battle, his body defended by the ghost of his pet Barbary ape. The ape of the Furies is said to protect the family and wreak vengeance on anyone who crosses them., 1h38

Ce film raconte l'histoire de Nelly (Corinne Luchaire), jeune détenue rebelle au grand cœur, et d'Yvonne (Annie Ducaux), nouvellement promue directrice de maison de correction pour jeunes filles. Au début du film, Yvonne, jeune directrice aux méthodes novatrices, prend en charge la direction d'un établissement pénitentiaire pour jeunes filles situé dans les environs de Nice. Les sévices et autres brimades infligés aux pensionnaires par l'ancienne directrice et ses subordonnées ne font qu'envenimer la situation parmi les détenues. Ne supportant pas le traitement infligé à la pauvre Nelly, après une bagarre suite au déchargement d'un camion de charbon, Yvonne décide de faire appliquer sur-le-champ ses nouvelles méthodes « pédagogiques », ce qui a pour effet de rendre les détenues, la jeune Nelly en tête, plus calmes et civilisées. Nelly finit par se faire nommer « aide-soignante » dans l'infirmerie de la prison, et succombe vite au charme du docteur Guy Maréchal (Roger Duchesne), qui n'est autre que le fiancé d'Yvonne. Nelly, apprenant la liaison du médecin et d' Yvonne, choisit de ne pas dénoncer sa camarade Renée (Ginette Leclerc), laquelle a volé de l'alcool à l'infirmerie et s'est saoulée, non sans avoir semé la zizanie dans la prison. Par loyauté envers Yvonne qui n'est toujours pas au courant de sa liaison avec le docteur Maréchal, Nelly choisit de porter le chapeau pour le vol d'alcool. Mais Renée finit par tout avouer à Yvonne, qui choisit de pardonner à Nelly, et laisse partir son prétendant à Pondichéry sans elle. Tout ceci se conclut par la libération de la jeune Nelly, et conforte Yvonne dans ses méthodes humanistes de directrice de prison., 1h25

Following his dismissal from a draper's shop, where his father had placed him as an apprentice, protagonist Alfred Polly (John Mills) finds it hard to find another position. When a telegram arrives informing him of his father's death, he returns to the family home. With a bequest of £500, Polly starts to consider his future; and a friend of his father's, Mr Johnsen (Edward Chapman), urges him to invest it in a shop - an idea that Polly hates. Whilst dawdling in the country on a newly-bought bicycle, Polly has a brief dalliance with a schoolgirl, Christabel (Sally Ann Howes); but later marries a cousin, Miriam Larkins (Betty Ann Davies). 15 years later, Polly and his wife are running a drapery in Fishbourne, and the marriage has descended to incessant arguments and bickering. Whilst walking in the country, Polly decides to commit suicide but also sets his shop ablaze in the hope the insurance will assure Miriam's prosperity; but botches the arson job and instead of killing himself, rescues an elderly neighbour and becomes a minor local celebrity. Still unhappy, Polly leaves Miriam and is hired by a rural innkeeper (Megs Jenkins) as handyman and ferryman; but soon realises that the position was open because the innkeeper's brother-in-law Jim (Finlay Currie) is a drunkard who chases any other man away from the inn. Polly clashes with Jim until the latter accidentally drowns in a weir when he is chasing Polly. Several years later, Polly returns to Fishbourne to find Miriam operating a tea-shop with her sister, in the belief that Polly had drowned, and returns to his happier life at the inn., 1h38

She also finds a piece of mud bearing the print of a riding boot, but when she goes to Inspector Craddock (Bud Tingwell), he is sceptical, believing that Enderby died of natural causes., 1h27

While traveling by rail, Miss Marple witnesses the strangling of a young woman in the carriage of an overtaking train. The local police can find no evidence to support her story, so she conducts her own investigation and, with the aid of her close friend Jim Stringer (Stringer Davis), comes to the conclusion that the body must have been thrown off the train near the grounds of Ackenthorpe Hall, which adjoins the railway line.
