The two previous films, Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror (1942) and Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon (1943), bring to life a modernized Holmes. This film goes one step further! For the first time Holmes and Watson are called away from their usual haunts of the British Isles and sent to the heart of the United States, Washington DC, where Holmes seems deeply impressed during a quick patriotic tour of the city's monuments, and Watson amuses himself with the commonalties of American living!

Henry Daniell's characteristic acting makes him an excellent henchman for the great George Zucco, who after appearing as Proffesor Moriarty in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1939), makes this film his final appearance in the series!

E-Mail Me!
Multiple Moriartys?? NO!!... But this film DOES include George Zucco and Henry Daniell,
Who BOTH played the Napoleon of Crime during the Basil and Nigel series!
