A lesser known sherlock holmes story, with ian richardson and david healy. When old man sholto is on his deathbed, he instructs his sons to share the treasure hidden in the attic with mary morstan. But when one of the sons gets bumped off, holmes must solve the mystery, and find the treasure. And just who is the one legged man? As usual, holmes has some fun in his disguises. And a chase through the fun house at the fair. Holmes even does a fair amount of physical fighting in this one! It must be a good story... it's been remade numerous times! Directed by desmond davis, who also filmed several agatha christie mysteries. Richardson won a bafta for "house of cards", and was nominated for three others!
