"The Creeping Man"

From the Series: The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes

Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes, Edward Hardwicke as Dr Watson (9 episodes)
First published in "The Strand Magazine" Mar 1923 (CREE)

Synopsis:
A woman sees a creature in her second story window. She summons Holmes despite her fathers protestations.

Review:
A supremely stupid story but one that may well have been believable in the 1920's. Holmes is aided more by newspaper articles and Watson than by any sleuthing abilities.
