When an unknown killer nicknamed ABC makes veiled threats through typewritten letters, Poirot takes the matter in his own hands, with help of his old friends Hastings & Japp. However, ABC succeeds in killing three innocent and totally unrelated people, effectively challenging Poirot's "little grey cells". He plants opened ABC railway guides showing the murder location. Poirot takes an unconventional approach by forming a Legion of relatives of the deceased and asking them for help.
Initially, the relatives are reluctant, but join in soon. In a seemingly unconnected story, a travelling salesman named Alexander Bonaparte Cust has travelled to all the murder locations on the day the crimes occurred. Cust served in military, where he got a blow on his head. He is prone to blackouts due to it, along with headache and epileptic attacks. Could this seemingly innocent stranger be the eponymous killer?
