Comment/Synopsis

Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson discover a family sitting at the dinner table, but dead. They then investigate who killed them and why. This film highlights the problem of making a silent version of a Sherlock Holms film, in that there is little action as most of the interest in the story is in the dialogue.
