Petri Wine brings you...

Basil Laffbone and Nigel Bruce, the new adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

The Petri family is a family that took time to bring you good wine.

Invite you to listen to Dr. Watson tell us another exciting adventure he shared with

his old friend, that master detective, Sherlock Holmes.

Now, right about now, you're probably taking a little breather in your last minute rush

to get everything ready for the day tomorrow.

Children have to be put to bed to wait for Santa Claus and is the tree waiting to be decorated

and four million and one things which must be done before morning.

I sure hope you got all your Christmas shopping done.

Pretty hectic rushing off the last minute to take care of Uncle Charlie or Aunt Bertha or

cousin Sam.

But if you must get something, just remember that you can always dash over to your wine

merchant and get a bottle or two of Petri Wine, or better yet a whole case of Petri Wine.

Petri Wines a swell gift, and I just thought a little luck minute suggestion might be

of some help.

And now I'm sure I have good friend Dr. Watson's waiting for us, so let's go in and join.

Come in, come in, come in, come in.

Oh, there you are, Mr. Barclad.

Well, stay, Dr. I can see you're going to have yourself quite a Christmas.

The tree in the corner with colored lights on it, let me get those.

Table covered with presents, you must be mighty popular.

Oh, yeah, don't worry about me, my boy, you see, I have a Christmas party tomorrow for

my housekeeper's little nieces.

Oh, I'm going to dress up as Santa Claus for him.

Well, I'm sure you look very convincing in the part.

Oh, by the way, Dr. I brush a little present, there it is, I hope you like it.

Good morning, Mr. Barclad, I've got one for you too, isn't it?

Oh, you mustn't open it until tomorrow, here, here, I'm the boy.

Thanks a lot, Dr. and now how's about tonight's story?

Last week you told us you'd chosen an adventure with a lot of Christmassy apples.

Yes, Mr. Barclad, my story begins on another Christmas Eve, many may years ago, the exact

in 1886.

The time the adventure occurred, I must confess I didn't quite understand what was going

on myself.

In fact, I never did quite make head of tail to it until home to pity on me later, explain

the whole thing, but I shan't try to confuse you, Mr. Barclad, I'll tell you the story exactly

that happened.

Right, you are, Dr., let's go.

Oh, on that Christmas Eve in 1886, I was standing in our Baker Street rooms, dressed

in the costume of Santa Claus.

Homes is long, thin, fingers pressed together, laid back in an armchair and gazed at

me critically.

While our huntskeeper, Mrs. Hudson, stood by the door and, after watching, you make a

grand Santa Claus.

That means Mrs. Hudson.

Now the beard on what's in our chapter, huh?

Constable?

How old are you?

Oh, you look just like the old man on the Christmas card, don't you?

It really becomes you.

Did you drink with the eyes, the ready complexion, and the appropriate gif?

Well, I shame we can't obtain some snow on a sleigh and reindeer for you.

However, I'm sure Mrs. Hudson's niece is, will be very much impressed.

Well, there will be that, Chef, and it's very kind of you, Doctor, to offer, to come

over to that house with me.

The father in the hospital in my sister, his bedside, it would have been a very miserable

Christmas without you.

I'm sorry for enjoying myself, but I think I'll take this dado for me to get there.

That's it.

Are you ready to leave, Mrs. Hudson?

Hi, I'm sorry.

Will I get a cab?

How far do we have to go?

Oh, Lexington Gardens, number 28, is just off the edge we have looked up to.

Far, but better than mine, my costume, I suppose we'd better take a cab.

Hi, Chef, I'll get one.

Holmes, what are you going to do with yourself?

I hate leaving you alone on Christmas Eve.

Oh, nobody, old chap.

I shall spend a profitable evening writing on my new monograph.

Oh, what just went about?

An analysis of teeth marks on pipe stems, in particular regard to indicated character.

Oh, it's very exciting.

Well, I must be going.

Don't forget to sack a present over them.

Let's cut, no, no, no.

When you come to distribute them, you will find the diet of the liberty of adding a few

fingers to my own diet.

Oh, that's going to be a thoughtful of you, huh?

Oh, excuse me, Mr. Holmes, but there's a gentleman to see you.

Saces are no different from yours.

Here's this cab, Chef.

No, thank you.

Oh, it's all but it can splend it.

Ask him to come up, Mrs. Hudson.

Oh, no, Chef.

And I hope your party has a great success, Mrs. Hudson.

Thank you, Chef.

Are you sure you don't want him to see?

No, that you have a visitor.

Oh, no, no, no, no, indeed, no, Mrs. Hudson.

I can show the gentleman out myself if you go off at the good time.

Thank you, Chef.

I wonder what Lord William wants.

That's how he should stay.

Oh, no, please, my dear fellow, certainly not.

Yeah, you'll find more important what to do.

Well, he can probably once his revenge at chess

or something equally innocuous.

Off with you, my dear fellow, and enjoy yourself.

A little bit of gold, just to say,

my wish you were coming with me.

I'll see you later.

Nice of you there.

Come on up, where'd he come?

Hello, Holmes.

Keep me in watch.

You make a very convincing sense, of course.

Are you leaving?

Hello, Fred, so long, where'd he go?

Good night, then.

Good night, good night.

How are you, Holmes?

All alone on Christmas Eve, hey?

Yes, where'd he go?

I'm glad you came over to see me.

What's it to me?

Anything up chess or have you

one earthed some recent pressure

of medieval pottery that we can discuss?

Neither, Holmes.

I come to you in your professional capacity.

I need help.

Oh, come on.

I'll where'd he come?

Don't tell me that after all these years of quiet friendship,

you're going to become a clown?

Yes, I'm afraid so, Holmes.

Though I doubted my problem will interest you very much.

It's hardly up to your other colourful standards.

Do you care for us to go?

Oh, thanks.

Well, no, no idea where'd he come?

Where'd you trouble?

Well, night decided this year

to have a little Christmas party at my townhouse.

I'm quite comfortably off as you know,

and to me, if I have several relatives and friends,

who are not as well off, I'm having a party for them

tonight, Holmes, and I hope to attend it.

This guy's just a Santa Claus.

I do have a fellow.

I've adopted many of these guys as my time.

It's rather Christmas, there's never been one of them.

You only want me to attend your party in those guys

and in the gays.

We've ashamed of your friendship,

a private detective, or do you consider my features

more acceptable when buried beneath the depths

of a snowy beard?

No, my dear Holmes, you take me seriously.

I'm not joking, I assure you.

Of course not, of course not.

You want me to attend your party in those guys?

Why?

Now, I'm doing some very valuable presents,

Diamonds and Onyx cast links, platinum and ruby earrings,

and then such like.

And I've wrapped each of the presents in banknotes.

Well, aren't these presents now?

In the sack, in charge of my particular.

I was going to dress up a Santa Claus

and give him out myself until I got the warning letter.

That's why I've come to you.

Wanting letter, eh?

Yes, I received it by this evening's post.

Listen to this.

My dear Lord Whitikham, your generosity

with Christmas presents borders on ostentation.

We do not approve.

Neither we receive 5,000 pounds and softens

at post-rest on box 379 by 6 o'clock on Christmas Eve.

Or I'm afraid the Christmas party will be conspicuous

by its absence of presents.

I see that, no Whitikham, no?

Yes, here you are.

Thanks.

Plain paper, come on from a penny notebook.

Writing is obviously just guys, eh?

By George, yes.

Whitikham, I accept the case.

I'll come with you to your party at once.

And furthermore, I shall follow your suggestion

regarding a disguise.

Rest of Santa Claus, I shall be less likely

to attract suspicion.

And delighted homes.

But what made you decide so suddenly?

This writing, my dear fellow, this writing.

Oh, it's, you know, false hand.

I know that characteristic M in my dear Whitikham.

I've seen it too often at the beginning of a signature.

Moriati.

Moriati?

Who's he?

Oh, one of the cleverest and most unscrupulous criminals

in England.

Whitikham, there's no time to be lost.

It's let me see now.

6.30.

I've not found the deadline given you in this letter.

We must go to your house once.

Access to affordable credit helps me pay my employees.

But I don't really need it.

Infliction is killing me.

Who cares?

Big retailers are making record profit.

That's why we support the German Marshall credit card bill.

See?

Things in credit unions help small businesses make payroll.

I think this bill would cut the vital resources they need.

While increasing megastore profits.

They deserve it.

Don't they?

Tell Congress, stop the German Marshall money grab for corporate megastores.

Paid for it by the electronic payments coalition.

This is as far as the CAD can keep its doctrine.

Here I have it.

Here's five shillings for you.

Merry Christmas.

Oh, bless you.

Don't let anybody Christmas you too.

You said you wanted to get into the house through the back way.

So that you could surprise the children.

Yes, I feel like.

And you come down the kitchen, children.

Oh, you can get to the back of the house.

They're going up the alley here.

I'll go in the front.

Spend it.

Spend it.

We'll do the house.

Number 28.

It's the third one down the alley, don't you?

All of the back window open in no time.

And you can slip in without any of the beer and sea.

Very well.

It blew me a little street out.

I must say.

Oh, well.

Where's the music coming from?

Oh, it's from that template across the seat, Doctor.

The disciples of the octagonal square, they call themselves.

What an earth disposal, it means.

Oh, it's a newfangled cock.

Heathens most likely.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I'm not the only Santa Claus abroad tonight.

Look at that fucker across the street all day.

Oh, did I suggest that yourself, Doctor?

And Cari in a sack too.

Oh, he's running up the steps to the temple.

It's God be.

He's slipped on the ice.

What a sorry worst.

Hear him amen.

Oh, oh, oh, he hits on those doctors.

Then it's simply a self.

Hear your self.

Give me a hand.

Uh, thank you, sir.

Uh, a failure of me, wasn't it?

Who is Santa Claus and Santa Helpe.

Hello, hello.

Up you come.

That's it.

Woohoo!

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, wreck.

He dropped, so I told you to be careful.

No, you're falling too.

Oh, it's just a fun red coat of money.

It's hit me up.

You just have to sit down.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm all right, I think.

Oh, how about you, sir?

Well, I'm all right, thanks.

Tell me if me to run, why isn't it?

Here's your sex, sir.

Oh, thank you.

Good night, and Merry Christmas.

Good night, thank you, sir.

You?

Oh, you're making me a temple.

It's the Cypher of the Cagual Square.

You're sure you know how to do it.

No, no, of course not.

Give me my sex, please.

Thank you.

Your sister's house is the third one down this other way, is it?

I'll hurry and know in the back window.

Yes, I'll be waiting for you, Mrs. Hudson.

It's very rather fun.

The shame homes isn't with us.

Oh, well, he's probably happier.

Having a good game of chess with odd willy come.

This is my house, Holmes, number 39.

I had a nine-ounce in square, right?

And dear old Watson, it's just around the corner in Lexington Gardens.

And has any idea that I've left the biggest village?

Here you are, caddy.

Oh, thank you, sir.

Of Merry Christmas, sir.

Uh-huh.

Isn't that?

Cowsing is.

Yes, we'll probably have our fill of them before this evening's over.

Good evening, millord.

Have the guests arrived, Harry?

Most of them, sir.

They're in the library.

You brought another Santa Claus with you.

I see millord.

Another Santa Claus?

What do you mean?

The gentleman arrived three quarters of an hour ago, sir.

This is Santa Claus.

I took him to your study, millord, and showed him the second presence.

Oh, fuck!

It's got here before us.

Where's the study?

This way?

I hope I didn't do wrong, millord.

You told me that a gentleman dressed in Santa Claus would be coming here.

Hear me?

The gentleman appears to have gone?

Yes.

And the fact containing the presence with him?

But he can't have left the house, millord.

I'd been watching the front door.

Yes, and while you were doing that, you slipped out to the window here.

The catch is uncertain.

Andre, describe this man.

Yes, sir.

He was dressed to Santa Claus just like yourself.

But I didn't notice one thing about him, sir.

What was that?

He lists, sir.

That's quite pronounced.

Of course.

Louis Vellisper.

Oh, yes, he's Louis Vellisper.

One of Moriahis must touch the compasses.

Fortunately, though, I've had newsmen later through my underworld grapevine.

You know where he lives?

He's reputed of some connections for the new cusp that calls themselves the disciple of the

church.

He's a great man.

You know where he lives?

He's reputed of some connections for the new cusp that calls themselves the disciples

of the octagonal square.

The headquarters are just around corner from here.

Look, let's go there.

Of course.

And, Andre, yes, sir.

Get a message, just cut and yard as fast as you can.

Ask for inspectors to start.

Until him.

Join me at the temple of the octagonal square in Lexington Gardens as soon as possible.

Oh, the children are also excited, Doctor.

I told them he's just keen to answer me.

Oh, it's up to bed.

All of them are going to them.

Will I announce you do it?

Yes, sir.

Please, will I?

All right, sir.

No, you're required.

Santa Claus has come to see you.

And he's brought you all presents.

Hello, hello, children.

Hello, Santa Claus.

My name's Jessie.

Did you bring me a present?

No, I didn't.

I did.

I know.

I know.

I know.

You're required.

Santa Claus has come to see you.

And he's brought you all presents.

I did, I'll see.

I look in my second minute and there.

What's your name, young man?

Whoever, take home your birthday.

Did you come down the chimney?

Yes, brother.

I bet you had a time doing it.

You're so fat.

Hey, what's your name, little man?

Santa Claus won't give you your present.

And what's your name, little man?

Maya, though.

I've got a cold.

Well, children, get around me.

I'll see what presents I got for you.

What are you doing?

The first present is for...

Oh, God be right.

It says for her grace, the dowager, Duchess of Bule.

Oh, do you suppose the princess has been playing a practical joke and you don't?

I suppose so, but I can't see the point.

So, but you can say that you've added a few trinkets of his own.

I want my present.

Then supposing you take this, Elsa.

Thank you.

And this one is marked for the Reverend Arthur Carter.

You're home to the doctor.

Here you are, Betty.

Cool, Sam.

And this is for you, Harold, because you've been a good little boy.

This is a very big isn't it?

I wanted the doll.

Hmm, I wanted the doll because it was me.

Well, I'll bring you a dog next year, Harold.

Oh, is the doctor watching?

Yes.

Oh, look at the wrapping on these presents.

Dr. Rudd of twenty-five notes.

It's cut.

Oh, look what I took.

Well, let me see.

I, uh, cut things.

I'm a non-epic.

The ones that look very much will take them.

I've got the pretty earring.

Look how they start.

Let me see.

Oh, see.

It's gracious, I swear.

The testament rule is, what in thunder's going on?

I want my earring back.

Give me that mind, too.

Well, well, well, here you are, here you are.

I've got a watch.

And the prettiest process happens.

I do know Mrs. Hudson that.

My toys are still at the bottom of the sack.

I can't understand it.

I wish homes are here instead of dosing.

In front of our farm, in Baker Street.

Where are you home?

You have at the bed.

This is the only room in the temple that gives any signs.

I've been living.

I mean, our bird has been here, but I'm a free flown.

I've seen spectacular starper get here.

Let's check them out.

Will you come?

Right.

Here's a candle on the table.

Oh, just a sightured.

Good on the bed.

A big coat.

And a beard.

Yes, Lou, the lippers, discolidist, discolidist,

isn't gone.

And with him, I'm afraid you are valuable questions.

Lou, wait a minute.

Here's a sack lying on the floor.

Oh, no, this isn't mine.

Look what's in it.

A toy dog.

Large box of chocolates.

Look at those dogs.

What is thunder?

Well, this is Watson's sack.

But how on earth could Lou the Lisper have got hold of it?

Where's some how?

Watson must have made an accidental change.

Lou the Lisper has no doubt trying to craft Watson down at this very moment.

He must work fast with it.

Or my friend's wife and those of Mrs. Hudson and her relatives won't be worth our tinkers down.

On the doctor, you can't book off your story there.

Oh, yes, I can, my boy.

Before I go on, I put me down a glass of pork just to it.

The fresh was up.

Oh, well, that's something different.

Of course.

Instead of talking about pork as I sometimes do, it will be night to drink something change.

Hey, I'm a boy and I've got a Merry Christmas to you.

The same to you.

And now, what happened next, doctor?

We left you with the children's Christmas party and Sherlock Holmes and Lord Whitwick

around the corner at the Temple of the Octagonal Square.

Yes, it's about two hours.

At the time, of course, I had no idea what was going on.

There I was, chiefly handing out gifts worth wealth.

Not the kings.

At least a bell in its ransom.

But outside the Temple of the Octagonal Square, Holmes, Lord Whitwick,

and we're talking to Inspector Todd, the Totten Yard.

There's the case in the nutshell, the Totten Yard.

It seems to me, Lord Whitwick, and you would have been wiser to get in touch with Scott and the Albany

or first got the warning, Luke.

We could have nabbed him when he came to your house and pinched the sack of presents.

Now, just no time for first buttons. We've got to reach Louisville-Lisper for forty finds,

Dr. Watson.

You should probably see him do that, Holmes.

It wouldn't be difficult.

Louisville-Lisper is nearly as clever as his master, Professor Bariati.

The chance is now that you were followed when you came to Baker Street tonight,

but you come deeply likely that Watson and Mrs. Hudson were followed as they left it.

Bariati seldom leaves anything to dance.

Well, where did Dr. Watson go tonight?

It's Lexington Gardens. It's around the corner from here.

Well, then this goes there at once.

Right now, Quarry away.

No, no, no, no, it's dry.

Now, Louisville-Lisper wishes to recover that sack of presents from Watson.

How would he invade the party with at least possible trouble?

No, by dressing up as Santa Claus again.

No, no, I think he's overplayed that global evening.

Well, then how would he try to get him, Mr. Holmes?

Oh, come now, Mr. Holmes.

What group of people can enter any house on Christmas Eve without invitation

or without creating suspicion?

You can.

Exactly, my dear fellow.

I should be told surprised if at this moment Louisville-Lisper and some of his gang are seeing carols outside 28 Lexington Gardens.

Well, then what are we going to do?

Former rival court or society. How many have been men to bring with you?

Three.

The Sergeant in two constables.

Where in great coats?

Yes, Mr. Holmes.

The boy.

They can hide their helmets and pretend to be singers.

Come on.

Let's go over there and while we're walking, we'll rehearse our carols.

We must appear reasonably convincing.

San Gerai, La Starde, San Gerai.

San Gerai, La Starde, San Gerai.

Hello, Hi.

Hi, Hi.

Hi.

Why didn't you back set the car?

No, no.

Your machine worked on to close two trials.

Oh!

What's your heck with this action, hop on.

Lots of fun.

Listen.

Nobody can come outside of your house.

How's a tree supposed to come out and side the thing for a быстро forward ride?

Do you suppose they can.

I asked him to come in, Mrs. Hjos.

All right, sir.

Come on, let me get on your retirement chair.

No, no.

Take it easy.

.

I see your range, do you see it?

I see my range, oh, by the way, stop on the roof.

I climb up the stairs.

No, no, no, you must do that, there's a street.

Oh, here's the cattle singers.

Oh, forget your room.

There we go.

That's it, pal.

Good evening gentlemen.

Good evening, and Merry Christmas.

Would you like to sing some cattle for the children?

After that, I'm sure you'd like a drop of some of them.

Well, thank you, sir.

We should like that.

And I, let you before somewhere, my man.

No, sir, I'm sure you'll have it.

Come on, man.

Let's sing good king went for life.

Good king went for life, no cattle.

I'm not going to stop here.

Well, here we are outside the house, Mr. Ohm.

Now what?

Yes, sir?

Uh-huh.

Louisville is for a days, men are already there.

Are we going in now?

No, no, man.

Come in, we'll have your functions handy.

Yes, Mr. Ohm's, we're ready.

Spend it now, remember.

When we're inside and I yoke, Christmas at the top of my voice,

you bring out your truncheons and get Louisville's

Fernies gang out of there as quickly as possible.

Don't arrest them until you get them outside again,

as well.

I don't want to fight mature.

Right, Mr. Ohm's, we're ready.

Just give us the word, and we'll go in and...

Oh, that was very nice of you, and now how about something to warm you all up?

That won't be necessary, Dr. Watson.

This is the door, Sammy.

Now all of you stay right where you are.

Oh, you, what is it, you're up to?

Please don't be difficult, doctor.

All I want is the jewel out of my sack that you sold for me tonight.

If you try and stop me, I shall have to hurt you, won't you?

Why do you talk so funny?

You've got a cold like these.

Shut up.

Now, Dr. Where are the jewel?

Oh, Chris, there are some more carol fingers out there!

I thought I'd have to go away and do!

No, better.

Let them come in.

If we don't, they might get suspicious.

Oh, no.

Why don't you look at it up to me?

No, no tricks, Dr..

If you try and give them a alarm, I shall have to get rough with you.

We only went about that, but just remember that they're the children present.

I know, my name is Chris.

You only have a boy or a nice.

What do you say we always join the old carol for the nipers, right?

Well, alright, eh, what do you want to sing?

Eh, better of you than you'll sing, eh?

Alright, alright, come on, man.

Let's sing.

Oh, no, no, no, no singing.

Glory to the New God, King.

Merry Christmas!

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Just to watch you what's happening, but I'll just do each other with sunshine.

Here you come, the man.

They're all going away, they'll make you go now.

Hey, hurry, come back here.

Oh, the animals are here.

Home!

Home, what in front of this thing on?

I'll explain it to you later, but you have to start.

Catch me, son.

I've taken the scuff and jardin' for third charges.

I'll be over in a little while and give evidence.

Right, you must say.

It's too bad we didn't catch profissive.

Or he ought to eat you.

Well, at least we have some of his cohorts.

So, I'll see you later, the star.

I'm showing you what was going on here.

Is my art a mixed up in this business?

Yes, what.

Now I'll tell you all about it as soon as I've stricken this thing up.

Now, where you come?

Yes, home.

The twenty-pound notes that you use as wrapping.

The art gifts seem to be scattered all over the house.

You want me to recover them too?

No.

From what you've told me of the children, I think their parents produce the money

much more profitable than my relatives.

In any case, I can replace it.

A very generous Christmas gift.

Well, children, did you enjoy the little game we staged for you?

It wasn't up, but yes.

I really died when they started hitting each other.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, children.

And now, I want you to show me the presents you received.

I thought it was pretty yeary.

Oh, they were part of the game too.

A nice little girl like you just won silly earrings, you'll see.

Here's a beautiful doll for you.

Cool.

I don't think you have anything.

And what did you get, my little man?

These.

Oh, cuffflinks.

Good gracious.

Who wants cuffflinks?

When you can have a clockwork train.

Do you want to exchange?

Train learn of a duck?

Yes.

Oh, what a doll.

There's one for you, Lionel.

Nice, nice wood dog.

Oh, cool.

It's lovely.

Hey, watch over here.

A nice big box of chocolates too.

Get all sheath.

Oh, loving one night.

Okay, that is much fun.

Since Granny got a finger stuck in a plug-o.

I still don't understand what's going on.

But I must say, this has only a box.

It's been a happy Christmas.

Yes, of course.

Oh, this is hot.

This is hot.

This is hot.

How's the, how's the turkey coming along?

Oh, it's a bit radiant.

A few minutes, this is hot.

Branded.

And while we're waiting, perhaps the children will oblige.

This is what we haven't heard so far.

This is as I know what you mean.

This Christmas cowl that really sounds convincing.

How about it, children?

All right, sis.

Come on, Alfie.

Come on, Lionel.

Time and night.

Holy night.

Holy night.

Holy night.

Now you're working hard and hard.

Holy night.

Holy night.

And the best can fly.

We've been happy.

We've been happy.

We've been happy.

We've been happy.

We've been happy.

Well, Doctor, that was really a cool thing.

Well, Doctor, that was really a swell story.

On a Christmas Eve like this,

do you ever wish you were back in Baker Street celebrating Christmas there?

Time is yes, but actually, Mr. Bartel.

I'm very happy right here in my little home.

There on the table the beautiful little Christmas tree

has a fine fire in my fireplace.

My two dogs, Monty and William,

are sleeping peacefully at my feet.

And best of all, I've got the love of every child

in the neighborhood.

Yes, I got a great deal this Christmas Eve.

Lots to be thankful for.

And what were the troubles of the world on their way to being settled?

It looks as if this is the brightest Christmas that I've ever had.

Well, that's how I feel about it, too, Doctor.

I hope that all our friends listening in

are just as happy this Christmas Eve as we are.

And speaking not only for myself,

but I know for all of us and for the Petter family, too,

we wish every one of you a happy Christmas

from the bottom of our hearts.

God rescue Mary.

Gentlemen.

Well, Dr. Watson, next Monday's New Year's Eve.

What story do you plan to tell us?

Well, I'm going to tell you quite extremely

appropriate, Mr. Bartel.

It takes place in the Scottish Castle there, Edinburgh,

on a New Year's Eve in 1900,

and concerns the pair of lovers,

an elderly Baronit and a strange iron box

that proved to be more than worth its weight in gold.

Tonight, Sherlock Holmes Adventure was written by Dennis Green

and Anthony Boucher, and was suggested by an incident

in the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's story,

The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle.

Music is by Dean Foster.

Mr. Rathbone appears through the courtesy of

Etro Goldwood Mayor, and Mr. Bruce

through the courtesy of some of our pictures.

Well, they are now starring in the Sherlock Holmes series.

The Petri wine company of San Francisco, California,

invites you to tune in again next week,

same time, same station.

Sherlock Holmes comes to you from our Hollywood studios.

Music plays.

This is Harry Bartel, saying goodnight for the Petri family.

For a solid hour of exciting mystery famas,

listen every Monday on most of these same stations at 8 o'clock

to Michael Shane, followed immediately by Sherlock Holmes.

This is the Mutual Broadcasting System.
