Dead Man's Folly

Hercule Poirot (Peter Ustinov) arrives at a country house to act as the expert judge at a murder hunt game, a summons from his friend Ariadne Oliver (Jean Stapleton), the mystery writer who devised it. Clive Donner sets the party among Sir Stubbs (Tim Pigott-Smith) and his guests, and then a real body turns up. Poirot, with Hastings (Jonathan Cecil) at his side, has to work out who treated the pretend crime as cover for an actual one.
