Storyline

Trivia
In the Agatha Christie novel "Murder in Mesopotamia", Captain Hastings does not appear. In this adaptation, he appears and is the uncle of William Coleman.

Goofs
It is impossible to accidentally drink Hydrochloric Acid because it gives off copious amounts of fumes which burn the nose and eyes. A person would be coughing violently before ever taking a sip, so Mrs. Johnson could not accidentally drink it thinking it was water, even half asleep. Sulfuric acid on the other hand has almost no fumes and could easily be drunk by a person who is half asleep.

Quotes
Bill Coleman: [after going over a bump while driving his jeep at high speed through the desert] Whoops!
Hercule Poirot: [groaning with discomfort] Unh!
Bill Coleman: That was a good one!
Hastings: [with annoyance] We don't have to get there in five minutes, you know!
Bill Coleman: That's half the fun. You're growing old, Ucle Arthur.
Hercule Poirot: Mr. Coleman, I myself have aged ten years since entering this auto mobile.
