Yep, that is the joke. It does do so in a way that allows Stevens to say 'no' to the question 'would he steal'.

The retraction also works, as now he has an implication Cameron would steal a red hot stove.

Oh I didn’t get that “no” element. Clever.

Old jokes can be hard to follow. I was expecting more idiom.
