Pre-war Britain is striving to produce a new fighter aircraft. Minister for Armaments Lord Mayfield invites Air Marshall Carrington to his country home to discuss the secret plans. Due to the high security risk, Chief Inspector Japp has the estate patrolled by police but a vital design sheet is somehow spirited out of the house. Poirot, who is also a guest of Lord Mayfield, is on hand to track down the thief. (iTunes)

Hercule Poirot is entering higher circles, where there is already talk of war and the possibility of at least defeating Germany in the air. It is nice to see how Poirot does not belong among those people, but in reality, he is much more intelligent than all those industrialists and their arrogant wives. Nevertheless, this episode did not captivate me that much.

The Incredibly Theft stands out from the Poirot cases in that there is no murder, and it is essentially a spy chase after a robber (spiced up with Nazis) rather than a detective story in the true sense of the word. And it's these "classic" whodunits with a murder, its subsequent solution and the discovery of the killer that I prefer. Thus, for me as a viewer, The Incredibly Theft stays in average waters, even if the ending is not exactly a bland affair.
