Ciò che Hercule Poirot apprezza di più nella vita è un enigma da risolvere. Così, quando la sua fedelissima segretaria si lascia sfuggire che la sorella, nel pensionato per studenti che dirige, è assillata da una inspiegabile serie di furti di oggetti apparentemente senza valore, Poirot si butta a capofitto nell'indagine. Il celebre detective ha notato subito qualcosa fuori posto. Forse anche perché al pensionato sono tutti terrorizzati. Ma, esattamente, da che cosa e da chi?

Invitato a recarsi in Francia per proteggere un uomo minacciato da un pericolo ignoto, all'arrivo Poirot scopre che il suo cliente è già stato assassinato.

L'arrogante e iperattivo ispettore Giraud ha i suoi sospetti ma, come al solito, sarà Poirot a dire l'ultima parola.
