Director: Roy William Neill

Writers: Edward T. Lowe; W. Scott Darling; Edmund L. Hartmann

From short story: The Dancing Men by Arthur Conan Doyle

Music by: Frank Skinner

Keywords: Mystery, Sherlock Holmes

The Swiss inventor of a bomb sight promises his invention to the Allies, and he must be protected from both the Gestapo and the detective's nemesis, Professor Moriarty. Lacks some of the charm of the other Sherlock Holmes excursions, but has plenty of excitement. Some elements were taken from The Dancing Men but the film is not based on that story.
