In this new adaptation, by Mike Stott, of an Agatha Christie classic, a disparate group of adventurers sets out from Damascus to visit the Gate of Baghdad. Set in the noir world of gun-runners, foreign police and refugees, the characters range from the innocent to the darkly experienced: young Netta and her more worldly Aunt Miss Pryce, an exotic General, the dependable Captain O'Rourke and the mysterious Dr Loftus. The intrepid travellers are haunted by the knowledge that their destination was once known as the Gate of Death. When Captain Smethurst is found murdered, the group is forced to turn for help to one of their party, the seemingly unimpeachable Mr Parker Pyne.
