Poirot kutsutaan hätiin, kun varakkaan aristokraatin kolmivuotias poika on uhattu kidnapata jo useaan kertaan. Epäilyksen kohteeksi nousee kuitenkin pojan omat vanhemmat, kun Poirot saa vihiä tulevasta kidnappaussuunnitelmasta. (SF Film Fin.)
Arvostelut (2)
In terms of plot and perpetrator, it is a rather poorer and considerably more predictable Poirot case, who aptly described it as a farce that he was getting tired of. As a result, this is a mediocre whodunit that doesn't have a chance to build enough suspense when it is clear from about halfway through who is behind the "crime".

It is a bit weaker episode, but maybe only in the climax, which I kind of expected. However, the creators nicely revived the relationship between Poirot and Hastings, especially the episode with the car is absolutely fantastic. The tension of whether there will be a kidnapping or not, and why, is maintained excellently here. The finale is a bit weaker, but definitely not bad.
