I can see why the producers put this story so early in the series, as it showcases the recurring characters very well: Poirot's devotion to moral conduct, Hastings' readiness to action, Miss Lemon's quest for perfection in her profession, and Japp's curmudgeonliness. The plot flaws are obvious: why call in a detective if you are trying to extort money from your wife? Why not use the excuse that the police won't take the case? That hole could have been plugged with one sentence about "the wife insisted I hire you." The next flaws: why doesn't doting mother insist on paying the ransom? Why have a detective witness your firing of the staff, leaving your child even more vulnerable? How are you going to explain the sudden access to money to repair the house? It's just a dopey plot, but it's filmed and acted well.

What was Waverly’s plan? That his wealthy wife would pay thousands of pounds to a “kidnapper,” (himself) and that Waverly would then use it to pay the workmen to continue renovations on the manse? That his dense wife would not notice that workmen were swarming all over the house for months?
