Another chapter with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce as Holmes and Watson. Lionel Atwill is the evil Moriarty. Holmes and Watson are protecting the valuable Swiss scientist Dr. Tobel ( William Post), but he is a difficult person to protect. Not only is Tobel snatched, but Holmes walks into a trap himself. Twice! This claims to be a U.S. film (Universal), but since Scotland Yard is involved, clearly the story takes place in England. It's a little complicated, but Dr. Watson is less bumbling than usual in this one, and comes to the rescue several times. and this COULD be the one where they finally catch Moriarty. Some WW II intrigue. It's quite good! I hadn't found this one before. On the Roku Classics channel. Moves right along.
