Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Episode 5: The Case of the Belligerent Ghost

Watson claims that he was hit in the eye by Albert Higgins a half hour after he had watched him die of a heart attack. He was however the counterfeiter “Poundnote” Higgins, now daywatchman at the Pembroke Museum, where Leonardo’s “Moonlight Madonna” is being shown. His boss, Mr. Benton, his replacement and his landlady, Mrs. Maggie Blake all contradict Watson’s time of death.

The adventures of master detective Sherlock Holmes as he and his assistant, Dr. Watson and, somewhat reluctantly, the bumbling Inspector Lestrade, battle criminals in London…
