Set in the Victorian Age and regarded by as many as the finest of the fourteen films in the Sherlock Holmes/ Basil Rathbone series, the adventures of Sherlock Holmes was originally released in 1393 by Twentieths Century-fox. Professor Moriarty (George Zucco) has at long last been brought for murder. But the “Napoleon of Crime” is acquitted after the court finds a lack if sufficient evidence. Moments after the judge releases the defendants, Sherlock Holmes dashes into the courtroom with proof that will destroy Moriarty’s alibi and send the professor to the gallows. Alas, he is too late and the criminal mastermind is set free.
