A Dutch jewel merchant is killed and Sergeant Velie (who has probably his biggest part in the series here) arrests the killer. But while he's taking him to New York by train, he is knocked unconscious and his prisoner is taken from him. This turns out to be the work of Nazi agents, who are after some diamonds that are also travelling to New York, inside a mummy case! Velie gets suspended from the police force, and Ellery & Nikki decide to help him get his job back (and a promotion) by solving the case and giving him the credit. "Enemy Agents Meet Ellery Queen", the last entry in the series, is really more of a WWII-era morale-booster than a mystery, with the Nazis being menacing at the start, bumbling fools by the end. But it's also probably one of the better entries in the series, mostly thanks to an actionful climax set at a health club that operates as the front for the nest of the Nazi spies. Cult actress Gale Sondergaard, who gets top billing below the series regulars, has only 2 scenes. ** out of 4.
