"The Six Napoleons"

From the Series: The Return of Sherlock Holmes

Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes, Edward Hardwicke as Dr Watson (13 episodes)
First published in "Collier's" Apr 1904 (SIXN)

Synopsis:
The smashing of three Napoleon busts seems a trivial crime, until someone is murdered.

Review:
A simple case that has Holmes tracking the shipment of the other three busts. Some wonderful acting and clever reasoning by Holmes to solve this one.


Lestrade took out his official note-book


He was introduced to us as the owner of the house - Mr. Horace Harker


Holmes pointed to the street lamp above our heads


“Ah, the rascal!” he cried


The door opened, and the owner of the house presented himself


With the bound of a Tiger Holmes was on his back


I bought the bust up with me, as you asked me to do
