An unusual 'job' is being offered (or rather commanded) to Holmes this time: he's supposed to guard the heir, whose father has just been assassinated, of the throne to an obscure little kingdom safely to Algiers, from where he'll be taken home.
So an ADVENTUROUS ship's passage lies ahead of Holmes, Watson, and the young monarch; the atmosphere is quite dense (even the fog on deck is thicker than in the streets of London...), the plot is suspenseful and has got its pretty surprising moments; and a special feature for friends of Scottish nostalgia and our good Doctor Watson: here Nigel Bruce gets the opportunity to sing (undubbed!) the old Scottish tune "Loch Lomond"!
One of the lighter entries in the Rathbone/Bruce series, good, solid, classic crime entertainment.
