This is a very enjoyable fifty minutes, but I suspect it should have been five minutes longer.
When the bonds are found to be missing, Hastings particularly notes that somebody appears to have tried to force his way into the strong box that contained them, but then, for some reason, simply used a key instead. Poirot acknowledges that this is a very interesting puzzle.
It remained a puzzle.
I imagine there was an explanation but it didn't make it into the final cut of the programme: a slight frustration in an otherwise good episode.
