Set in the Victorian Age and regarded by as many as the finest of the fourteen films in the Sherlock Holmes/ Basil Rathbone series, The Adventures of SherIock HoImes was originaIly reIeased in 1939 by Twentieth Century-Fox.
Professor Moriarty has at Iong last been brought to trial for murder. but the "NapoIeon of Crime" is acquitted after the court finds a lack of sufficient evidence. Moments after the judge releases the defendant, Sherlock HoImes dashes into the courtroom with proof that wilI destroy Moriarty's aIibi and send the professor to the gallows. Alas, he is too late and the criminal mastermind is set free.
Moriarty wastes no time in plotting his next crime, but in order to be successfuI he must divert the attention of the Great Detective. Enter Miss Ann Brandon who caIls on Holmes and his companion Dr. Watson after she and her brother receive anonymous letters containing a drawing of a man with an aIbatross hung around his neck, and a date written above the picture. Their father received the same baffIing Ietter years before and was found murdered on the date inscribed in his letter.
Are these mysterious letters but erroneous distractions? Are they clues to a case irrelevant to the exploits of the eviI Professor Moriarty? Or are these portents of disaster inexorably Iinked to the master criminaI's plan to commit a crime that will shake the very foundation of the British Empire? It is for Holmes and Watson to sort out this mystery and, hopefully, eliminate the menace of Professor Moriarty.
