The Mousetrap is a famous play written by queen of crime, the legendary Agatha Christie.
In an English country house called Monkswell Manor, converted into a hotel, Mollie and Giles Ralston are preparing to welcome their first guests. While the snow completely isolates them from the outside world, the guests arrive one by one. A short time after their arrival, the radio announces a murder was committed in London and the culprit has supposedly fled for Monkswell Manor.
When police detective Trotter manages to reach the house despite the storm, suspicions become rife. Everyone seems to be hiding something, and the characters' troubled pasts are slowly revealed.
