It has a teriffic story, nice production values, a great cast, and a great atmosphere. Someone is murdering young women in modern London and cutting off a finger from the victims. Is it a trophy or something more sinister? When a particularly sweet and innocent young lady is murdered, a baffled Inspector La Strade turns to Sherlock Holmes for help. By chance, Holmes spots a man known as Fenwick (Paul Cavanagh) dining with a lovely woman Lydia (Hillary Brooke) and shortly after receives a visit from his daughter Maude (Eve Amber) who is worried about her father's strange behavior. Holmes and Watson find Fenwick murdered, of course, and Holmes begins to suspect that this is no serial killer but a devious scheme of blackmail, the victims only pawns in a game. Only one mind could concoct such a devious and heartless crime, the supposedly dead Professor Moriarty (Henry Daniel). Holmes will put his life in danger when he finds the alluring Lydia, knowing she will lead him to his nemisis. Nigel Bruce gives fine support in this one and Hillary Brooke is teriffic in this story of hypnotism, blackmail, and murder. Henry Daniel was the definitive Moriarty and is a match for Rathbone in this one, well almost! This is a good one, with a memorable turn from Hillary Brooke. This one comes highly recommended. The game is afoot!
