Definitely a "Based on characters created by Conan Doyle", this is a Rathbone/Bruce Sherlock Holmes caper.
They're the best screen pairing to have played the parts, and this run-of-the-mill spy thriller is the product of their success. We have Holmes acting as a king's bodyguard on a ship, with all manner of assassination attempts directed at him and his charge.
Nigel Bruce blunders about happily, Rathbone gives the usual performance, and all is right with the world.
Entertaining enough if you're a fan of these two as Holmes and Watson, otherwise pretty much forgettable.
