When prominent gamblers begin dying under mysterious circumstances, Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) fakes his own death in order to disguise himself and get to the bottom of the case, assisted, as always, by the steadfast Dr. Watson (Nigel Bruce). Finding the truth, however, becomes the least of Sherlock Holmes's worries when he crosses paths with the deadly Andrea Spedding (Gale Sondergaard), a woman with a heart of stone and a fondness for spiders. Considered one of the best of the Universal Holmes features, the film is represented here by a lovely half sheet. This half sheet has overwhelming eye-appeal, sure to please any fan of the great detective.
