Summary of Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror
Based on the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle story HIS LAST BOW, this is the first of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries to transplant the master sleuth from Victorian crime scenes to the world of wartime espionage. Set in WWII London, Holmes (Basil Rathbone) is hired by the British Inner Council to find the German spy who has been passing information to a Nazi propaganda broadcaster known as the "Voice of Terror." The radio menace announces various acts of sabotage as they are happening and warns of a Nazi invasion of Britain, prompting Holmes and the trusty Dr. Watson (Nigel Bruce) to scour London's seedier quarters in search of the dastardly saboteurs.
