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)

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.

And something a little exotic again. This time a bit of Asia. It's nice how Poirot manages to get everywhere, even without moving from his place. In this episode, it's great how it's linked to the game of Monopoly, which Hastings and Poirot enjoy together. The murderer's revelation is once again very effective, especially thanks to the interesting setting.
