I guess the esteemed police officer Giraud had never read any Poirot mysteries, because he happily goes up against him in "Murder on the Links," from 1996.
Poirot and Hastings are approached by a businessman Paul Renaud, who has been receiving threats. The next morning, Madame Renaud is found bound and gagged, and her husband's dead body is found on a golf course nearby.
Poirot and Giraud disagree about the solution to this crime, so they make a wager. The one who catches the killer has to give something up. In Poirot's case, it's his mustache, and in the case of the police detective, it's his pipe.
Well, we all know Poirot isn't going to shave off his mustache. Hastings, however, loses his heart to a lovely singer. She becomes his wife, the "Bella" mentioned in subsequent episodes.
Very good episode with an interesting denouement.
