'The story of Lady Dedlock's secret and the tragic consequences of its exposure.' (British Film Institute)

An orphan named Innocence leaves her county home after her foster-father dies. She travels to the city and makes a living as a novelist. Subsequently, she has an affair with a painter named Amadis de Jocelyn, who later dumps her.

Sherlock Holmes (Eille Norwood) knows that a man has killed a former partner but he can't prove it unless he finds a dying detective who knows what really happened. Norwood would play Holmes in over thirty films and he's quite good in the role bring an intelligent looking character.

Holmes and Watson match wits with an opera star intent on blackmailing a king.

Sherlock Holmes (Eille Norwood) is on vacation when he stumbles into a house and discovers two bodies. Both have been dead for hours but there aren't any visible signs of violence and soon other bodies start to pile up.

Holmes finds that the disappearance of respectable middle class Neville St. Clair may be linked to a filthy beggar living above an opium den.
