In their final foray as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce investigate the murders of two men whose only link is that they both purchased identical music boxes. Tracing them to a prison inmate, the master sleuth realizes they hold a deadly secret that puts him on a collision course with the beautiful but deadly Patricia Morison, head of a band of assassins. Like most of Rathbone's Holmes film, this entry is directed stylishly by Roy William Neill and features Mary Gordon as Baker Street housekeeper Mrs. Hudson.
