Dumb waiter to wrong floor--find body.

Very sneaky poirot engine should NOT have been steaming at end.

In "The Third Floor Flat", a downstairs neighbor of Poirot's is found murdered. How they found it is most unusual. The woman in the floor above cannot find her key and her boyfriend and his friend use the dumb waiter system in the apartment building to try to get into her apartment. But they end up in a different one...the one below. There, they discover a dead body...an obvious murder victim. While Scotland Yard is out looking for the wrong killer, Poirot and his friends solve the crime and show that one of the folks involved is NOT who they say they are.

This is a very tightly written and interesting episode. Well worth seeing and I appreciate how it's a bit shorter than some episodes...but that suits the story well.
