While Poirot is checking his account, the chairman of his bank is waiting for a Chinese man. This man is expected to sell the bank a map showing the location of a lost silver mine. When Mr Wu Ling is found dead near the Red Dragon Casino at the docks, Inspector Japp becomes excited at the prospect of breaking a drugs ring he has been pursuing for several years. Poirot is certain they are dealing with more than gangland crime. (iTunes)

Again, something a bit exotic. A little bit of Asia this time. It's nice how Poirot manages to get essentially everywhere, even without leaving his place. What's good about this episode is how it's connected with the game of Monopoly, which Hastings and Poirot enjoy playing together. The reveal of the killer is again very effective, mainly due to the interesting setting.

The Lost Mine benefits from an exotic cast of Chinese mobsters and businessmen, and is also enriched by a funny line about playing Monopoly (Poirot vs. Hastings) and a humorously contrived chase (I was quite amused by the sort of "prehistoric" tracking system from the 1930s). It's definitely one of those less traditional stories about a mustachioed Belgian.
