The disappearance of the race horse Silver Blaze, a few days before an important race and the murder of its trainer.
Sherlock Holmes decides to investigate and goes down to meet its owner Colonel Ross.
Inspector Gregory already has a suspect in mind but Holmes needs to locate the horse before race day.
The half hour format suits this adaptation of Conan Doyle's short story. There is little need to pad things out.
Christopher Plummer as Holmes looks deathly pale. A nod to the aficionados that this man is an addict.
He still lets everyone know that his Holmes is the smartest person in the room. I would certainly liked to have seen more Plummer as Holmes. He did later do the movie Murder by Decree.
Thorley Walters as Dr Watson is more of a traditional Nigel Bruce type. Rather plain and old fashioned.
It is an old school atmospheric production that was made in Britain. Inspector Gregory suffers with a bad wig and facial hair.
