About this listen

A once-decorated military officer begins to unravel, and those closest to him fear madness—yet something about the case feels wrong to Holmes.

As Holmes and Watson look deeper, they uncover hidden motives, strained loyalties, and a truth far more complex than a troubled mind. This is a psychological mystery where emotion and deduction collide.


Originally aired: 1945

Cast: Basil Rathbone & Nigel Bruce
