Plot

Retired Sherlock Holmes and practicing Dr. Watson come back together to solve a puzzle in the beginning of the 20th century.

The 20th century begins. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson left the house No. 221b on Baker Street. Sherlock Holmes went to Sussex and started beekeeping. Dr. Watson got married and returned to medical practice. Mrs Hudson also left Baker Street, but ordered to create a Sherlock Holmes museum in the living room. Inspector Lestrade retired. However, in the new century there were new, much more dangerous criminals implicated in politics and international relations. Europe was on the verge of a major war.—Peter-Patrick76 ([email protected])

In addition to the two-part television version of the film, a shorter version for the film screening called "Sherlock Holmes in the 20th Century" was mounted. In this installation version, in particular, the entire plot of the story "Bruce-Partington Drawings" was deleted. The film version was released before the premiere of the full (two-part) television version of the film.—zoroman2008
