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's a bit of a weaker episode, but perhaps only in the conclusion, which I somewhat anticipated. However, the creators nicely revitalized the film with the relationship between Poirot and Hastings, particularly the episode with the car, which is absolutely fantastic. The tension is excellently maintained regarding whether or not a kidnapping will occur, and why. The finale is a bit weaker, but definitely not bad.
