A woman (Isla Bevan) believes her life is in danger and talks about some stolen treasure as well as being pursued by a tattooed man (Roy Emerton), a one legged convict (Graham Soutten) and a midget killer (Togo). She calls on Sherlock Holmes (Arthur Wontner) for help.
A rough and ready Sherlock Holmes thriller from one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's well known books. It feels a little earthier and rougher than we'd later come to expect, but it is a decent effort and captivating, even if Wontner as Holmes seems a little too young for the part.
Produced by Basil Dean in one of his prestige productions with future Hollywood director, Rowland V. Lee as one of the production designers. It was remade as a TV movie in 1983.
