Men are seemingly jumping to their deaths. The newspapers call them "Pajama Suicides". Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) is fishing with Doctor Watson (Nigel Bruce) in Scotland. When he reads a newspaper report, he immediately realizes that these are murders. He falls into the river and is presumed killed. In reality, he faked his own death to catch a Moriarty-like villainess.
This is an original present-day plot with elements of several Arthur Conan Doyle stories. It's a fun little Sherlock Holmes movie. The Rathbone Bruce combination continues to be good. I normally dislike brown-face acting but the disguise does serve a purpose. It's a good episode in this Sherlock series.
