More Details

Summary:

Study in scarlet (1933, 72 min.) Members of an underground crime ring are being murdered. Holmes' investigation leads him to the beautiful Mrs. Pyke and to a stately ancestral home--complete with screams in the foggy night, cloaked figures moving through secret passages, and a sinister Asian butler.
Sherlock Holmes and the secret weapon (1943, 68 min.) Sherlock Holmes battles his arch rival, Professor Moriarty, who, aiding the Nazis, has kidnapped the inventor of a new bomb.
Terror by night (1946, 60 min.) Sherlock and Watson investigate the murder on a train from London to Edinburgh and how it might be connected to an attempted jewel theft.
Dressed to kill (1946, 76 min.) Three musical boxes hold the clues to the location of stolen money-making plates, and it's up to Sherlock Holmes and his trusty sidekick Dr. Watson to piece together the clues before the plates fall into the hands of villains.
