This is clearly an adaption of the first half of Doyle's novel "The Valley of Fear" ( http://sherlock-holmes.classic-literature.co.uk/the-valley-of-fear/ ) with tantalizing similarities for those who have read the book, and a few disappointing omissions, such as Doyle providing a much more dramatic ending to the first half of the novel. Still, this is very entertaining and well condensed. I agree that Ronald Howard makes a surprisingly good Holmes. Not up to Rathbone of course, but good.
Thanks to the other reviewers who mentioned the 30 and 39 episode DVDs. Just google "The Case of the Shy Ballerina" to find them. Look around cause prices vary. I just ordered the full series.
