Dr. Watson

The famous pair are staying in Vienna, where they've become involved in the mysterious strangling of a notorious blackmailer.

As we rejoin our story, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are cross-questioning another of the suspects, a Swedish sculptress by the name of Madame Janssen.

Tonight's Sherlock Holmes adventure is written by Dennis Green and Anthony Boucher and is based on an incident in the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle story, A Case of Identity.

This is Bill Foreman saying goodnight to the Petri family.

This is the Mutual Broadcasting System.

I've come to you for advice, Mr. Holmes.

That's easily obtained.

And help.

That is not always so easy.

May I help the gentleman off with his coat, will you, Watson?

Thank you, sir.

I heard of you, Mr. Holmes, from Major Pendergast.

Oh, yes.

He said that you could solve anything.

I'm afraid he said too much.

But you've never been beaten.

I've been beaten four times, sir.

Three times by men and once by a woman.

But suppose you sit down and introduce yourself.
