Hercule Poirot catches criminals, even though he himself was caught by the flu. The incredibly vain detective solves most of the mysteries without getting up from his chair. He finds bank bonds, explains the mystery of the stolen diamond, prevents the kidnapping of the Prime Minister, confronts the mafia, meets with an American intelligence agent, and... a black cat.
"Little gray cells" are an invaluable weapon when Poirot conducts an investigation!
