π A Study in Scarlet (1933) is a gripping pre-Code mystery film loosely inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyleβs classic Sherlock Holmes novel of the same name. Although not a faithful adaptation of the original 1887 story, this cinematic take weaves a fresh and suspenseful mystery featuring Britain's most beloved detective, Sherlock Holmes, and his loyal companion Dr. Watson. Directed by Edwin L. Marin and starring Reginald Owen in his only portrayal of Holmes, this lesser-known film offers a unique glimpse into early detective cinema.
Set against the fog-shrouded streets of 1930s London, A Study in Scarlet dives into a series of mysterious deaths among members of a secret society, the "Scarlet Ring." Holmes and Watson find themselves pulled into a deadly game of deception, revenge, and betrayal.
π© Unique for its time, the 1933 version marked a rare moment in cinematic history: it was one of the earliest sound films to explore Sherlock Holmes outside of the public domain works. The film is now in the public domain, making it widely accessible for classic movie fans.
π΅οΈββοΈ Plot Summary
A woman walks into the apartment of Sherlock Holmes, worried that her husband, a member of a mysterious group called "The Scarlet Ring," has disappeared. Shortly after, he turns up dead. Holmes suspects foul play and discovers that all the members of this secret society are mysteriously dying one after another.
As Holmes and Watson dig deeper, they unravel a chilling conspiracy: each death allows the remaining members to inherit more of the group's pooled fortune. Behind the scenes, a shadowy figure pulls the strings β a man named Thaddeus Merrydew, who might be more involved than he claims.
In a tightly paced 79-minute runtime, Holmes uncovers clues, follows false leads, and uses his trademark deductive logic to expose the true murderer in a twist ending that ties every detail together.

00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:01:00The End
00:01:29I can't open it, you're right now.
00:01:34Oh, darn it.
00:01:35All his nibs.
00:01:37Mr. Partridge, eh, Mr. Partridge?
00:01:41Now what's the trouble?
00:01:43Can't open the blinking door.
00:01:51Come out.
00:01:52Do you hear me?
00:01:59This is Victoria Station.
00:02:07Honey.
00:02:10Donald Drunk, sleeping at all.
00:02:12I'm just traveling for its claws.
00:02:14Oh, come on.
00:02:23Jim, what's up your ladder?
00:02:28Yes, sir.
00:02:29Open that window.
00:02:30Right.
00:02:30I can't bulge it, Mr. Partridge.
00:02:41Bulge is the word.
00:02:42You'll have to smash it then.
00:02:44Right.
00:02:51Mr. Partridge, there's all this.
00:02:53Yes, there's one.
00:02:59Mike Hall.
00:03:01Flex the police.
00:03:02Don't stand there, Gaitling.
00:03:04Don't stand there, Gaitling.
00:03:06This must be the place.
00:03:24Yes.
00:03:25You'll have to wait here.
00:03:27I'm not going to let you go in a place like this alone.
00:03:29You must really.
00:03:31I'll be all right.
00:03:36I'll be all right.
00:04:06I'll be all right.
00:04:18This meeting is now called to order.
00:04:20The unfortunate death in a train of one of our members, Mr. James Murphy,
00:04:25who departed this life by his own act while of unsound mind,
00:04:30has necessitated this meeting.
00:04:32That's what you say, Mr. Meridue.
00:04:34And how do you know?
00:04:36A verdict of death by suicide was returned tonight.
00:04:41This is the second occasion that we have been brought together by the mishaps to our members.
00:04:48The first being the passing away by natural causes of the late Colonel Forrester,
00:04:52whose charming daughter so gracefully honors us with her presence here tonight.
00:04:56It is agreed in the pact drawn up and formally attested to by its founders
00:05:05that should the Grim Reaper overtake one or more,
00:05:10the interests of the deceased in the society will be divided equally among the surviving members.
00:05:17It is also provided for in the pact that Miss Forrester becomes a participating member.
00:05:23Consequently, the interests of the late James Murphy will be divided equally among the seven of us.
00:05:28I move that my fee for the necessary legal representation,
00:05:35funeral expenses and a modest urn for the ashes,
00:05:38be defrayed by our organization.
00:05:40I understand from the widow that he expressed a preference for cremation.
00:05:44I second that.
00:05:47All those in favor will please signify by raising their hands.
00:05:52Mr. Wilson.
00:05:55Mr. Baker.
00:05:56Mr. Dearing.
00:06:04Mr. Pike.
00:06:07Ah, yes.
00:06:15Good.
00:06:16Has any provision been made for the widow?
00:06:18None.
00:06:19I presume that we could stretch a point in her favor.
00:06:22Emphatically, no.
00:06:23Things are complicated enough as they are.
00:06:26Why did he want to kill himself?
00:06:29Have you ever met his wife?
00:06:31No.
00:06:31No?
00:06:32Well, I have.
00:06:34A pest if there ever was one.
00:06:36He can attribute his death solely to the general deficiencies of one...
00:06:40Annabelle Mary Murphy.
00:06:56What would you deduce from this?
00:07:07Obviously, an attempt to convey secret information.
00:07:11Could you decipher it?
00:07:12I could not.
00:07:14Nor could you.
00:07:17Would you like to bet?
00:07:19Certainly.
00:07:20How much?
00:07:23Shilling.
00:07:24My time is too valuable.
00:07:28The answer will be found in a large book because the numbers are large.
00:07:33I'd suggest the Bible.
00:07:44A client, Watson.
00:07:45Well, the widow standing under the street lamp.
00:07:51A widow?
00:07:52Would you like to bet on that?
00:07:53Of course.
00:07:55Well, I'm not going down the street to ask her.
00:07:56Ah.
00:07:58Won't be necessary.
00:07:59She's made up her mind.
00:08:02So you deduce her to distance, eh?
00:08:04Not in this case.
00:08:06I recognized her features.
00:08:07She's a Mrs. Murphy.
00:08:09Her husband was murdered three days ago.
00:08:12You mean the man that was found dead in a train?
00:08:14Exactly.
00:08:16Come in.
00:08:18A Mrs. Murphy to see you, sir.
00:08:20Mr. Holmes, I'm in such a mess.
00:08:22Such a mess.
00:08:23My husband up and died without leaving me as much as I certainly did.
00:08:27It's a crime shame, Mr. Holmes.
00:08:28That's what it is.
00:08:29Sit down and try to compose yourself.
00:08:33Cut off without a pardon.
00:08:34By an ungrateful good for nothing.
00:08:37Me.
00:08:37At my time of life.
00:08:39No dirty dog had a better wife.
00:08:41I've waited on him end to month.
00:08:43Stood by his side morning, noon and night.
00:08:46And what does the stinker do?
00:08:48He ups and kills himself.
00:08:49And leaves his money to a trust.
00:08:51And Mr. Meridue, yes.
00:08:54And there's another stinker.
00:08:55If I never saw another.
00:08:56Won't even let me have a sixpence.
00:08:58He won't even let me have an eightpence, Mr. Holmes.
00:09:01Thaddeus Meridue, the lawyer?
00:09:03Yes, the thieving hounds.
00:09:05The dirty rat.
00:09:05One moment.
00:09:08You were married how long?
00:09:10Five blessed long years.
00:09:12Previous to your marriage, your husband served in the army.
00:09:15You knew him.
00:09:16Of him.
00:09:17He got his discharge in China.
00:09:19Yes, that's right.
00:09:20Then you married.
00:09:21Yes, and I gave up everything, Mr. Holmes.
00:09:23You ask the proprietor of the Black Sour, you tell you.
00:09:25It was me that made that pub what it was.
00:09:28And your husband had money.
00:09:29Farrells of it.
00:09:30And when he wanted more, he used to come up to London and get it.
00:09:33It was that that took him to London when he killed himself.
00:09:36How do you know?
00:09:36Well, Jim comes into my room.
00:09:40I was in bed with a piece of cucumber rined round the head trying to cure an headache.
00:09:44He had a letter in his hand.
00:09:46See, a pig, he says.
00:09:48That was his pet name for me when he was drunk.
00:09:51I'm going up to London.
00:09:53Did you read the contents of the letter?
00:09:55Oh, it wasn't no letter.
00:09:57It was just a piece of doggerel.
00:10:12Watson, make a note of Mrs. Murphy's dress.
00:10:16232 Kings Cross Road.
00:10:18Then you'll undertake me, Mr. Holmes.
00:10:20I'll take up your case.
00:10:22Mind you, it'll have to be for love.
00:10:24Love?
00:10:26Well, Nick, I've noticed how you like working for nothing.
00:10:29My interest is to bring the criminal to justice.
00:10:31Oh, never mind about justice.
00:10:33Never mind about the crime.
00:10:34All I want is my husband's lawful money.
00:10:37And I want you to slap that feeling lawyer's face right across between his greasy pet chops.
00:10:43Good night, Mr. Holmes.
00:10:44I'll be seeing you and thank you kindly.
00:10:46Good night, Mrs. Murphy.
00:10:50Deep water, Watson.
00:10:58She needs some shady lawyer, not you.
00:11:01Think so?
00:11:02I'm amazed that you're wasting your energies on such a morbid trifle.
00:11:06Who is this merry dude?
00:11:08London's most dangerous crook.
00:11:10The king of blackmailers.
00:11:12A gliding, slithy, venomous snake.
00:11:15Once in his power, he'll squeeze and squeeze until he's drained his victims dry.
00:11:21More than once I've had my net around him, but so far, he's managed to wriggle his way out.
00:11:26The time has come, Watson.
00:11:28The time has come for Mr. Thaddeus Meridyl.
00:11:31And now, Miss Forrester and gentlemen, this concludes the meeting.
00:11:37I would like to have a word with you, Lord.
00:11:39I sincerely trust no further accidents will happen to occasion another meeting.
00:11:44You never can tell.
00:11:45Are you going my way?
00:12:09Which way do you go?
00:12:11I go to the other.
00:12:12That leads to a dead end.
00:12:14That's the way I go.
00:12:15Good night, then.
00:12:16Good night.
00:12:33You must never mention anything that transpired at this meeting tonight.
00:12:36Or even that this meeting was held.
00:12:38I saw a young man standing on the corner as I came in.
00:12:42Yes, my fiancΓ©e.
00:12:44He brought me here and is waiting for me.
00:12:46Oh.
00:12:49Then you're thinking of being married.
00:12:51Yes.
00:12:51I wouldn't if I were you.
00:12:53That is, at least until you've consulted me.
00:12:56But why?
00:12:57I can't explain.
00:12:59In a short time, the society will no longer exist.
00:13:02Until its affairs are winded up, it would be most unwise for you to marry.
00:13:05Your father would not have wished it.
00:13:06What had my father to do with these people?
00:13:09Didn't he ever tell you?
00:13:10No.
00:13:11Then I must respect his silence.
00:13:13Remember.
00:13:15Not a word to a living soul.
00:13:19He's hostile.
00:13:20He's hostile.
00:13:21Captain Pike.
00:13:23He's hostile.
00:13:42You wait here.
00:14:07What is it?
00:14:08What's happening?
00:14:09Are you hurt?
00:14:11Someone.
00:14:12What does it mean?
00:14:19The murderer must have had an accomplice and removed the body.
00:14:22Please call the police.
00:14:23No, no, the police will be here soon enough.
00:14:24We mustn't become involved.
00:14:25But it's murder.
00:14:26As you respect your father's memory, you must preserve a strict silence, not a word.
00:14:35Come.
00:14:35The body was pulled out of the Thames at 5 a.m. in the Limehouse District.
00:14:45The autopsy shows a death was caused by a bullet through the heart.
00:14:48The features, as you see, are unrecognizable, caused possibly by the battering of the head
00:14:53against the wharf where the body was found.
00:14:54We would have identified the body by means of that ring.
00:14:58Ah.
00:14:59A very rare and very beautiful ring, this tree.
00:15:03There isn't the slightest doubt that the deceased is Captain Pike.
00:15:06The clothes are identified, initials on the collar and on the shirt.
00:15:09Further identifications are contained in these letters that were found on the clothing.
00:15:12Where is the widow, we ask her to wait in the adjoining room.
00:15:36This is Pike?
00:15:37Yes, you are?
00:15:40My name is Sherlock Holmes.
00:15:43When did you last see your husband alive?
00:15:45We dined together last night at the Savoy Grill.
00:15:48He left me shortly after nine o'clock.
00:15:51I never saw him again.
00:15:52You're staying?
00:15:53At the Savoy.
00:15:55You've been in London how long?
00:15:56About a week.
00:15:57And you live where?
00:15:58At the Grain Shuberness.
00:16:01When your husband left you, did he inform you where he was going?
00:16:04No, but I fancied it was on a matter of business.
00:16:08He was a man very precise in his habits.
00:16:11When midnight came and there was no sign of him, I became rather alarmed.
00:16:15Midnight should be a late hour for him.
00:16:17Very.
00:16:18As the time went on, I became more and more worried.
00:16:21At last I informed the police.
00:16:23An hour ago I received a message to come here, where I identified the body of my poor husband.
00:16:30By the ring?
00:16:31Yes.
00:16:32Did he always wear a ring?
00:16:34That one, yes.
00:16:35I gave it to him when we were married.
00:16:37That would be?
00:16:38About six years ago in China.
00:16:40It is an heirloom belonging to my family and has been handed down through generations.
00:16:45I see.
00:16:46Permit me to express my sympathy for your great loss.
00:16:51Is that all?
00:16:53By the way, should it become necessary, shall I communicate with you at the Grange or the Savoy?
00:16:58Through my lawyer.
00:16:59His name?
00:17:00Mr. Thaddeus Meridue.
00:17:02Good morning, Mr. Holmes.
00:17:18Well, what do you make of it?
00:17:19Murder.
00:17:20Unquestionably.
00:17:21Is that all?
00:17:22That's all I have to say.
00:17:23What do you think?
00:17:24I think that the lady is a liar.
00:17:28I want some on the ship.
00:17:29What do you think so far?
00:17:30That's all I have to say.
00:17:31My son.
00:17:32I am not hearing the lady.
00:17:33I have to say.
00:17:34Never mind to her.
00:17:35I don't know what's going on in the ship.
00:17:36That's all I have to say.
00:17:37In that ship, I am not saying that.
00:17:38I have to say.
00:17:39I don't know what the lady is asking.
00:17:40It's good.
00:17:41I don't know.
00:17:42We should have to ask you.
00:17:43What's going on in the ship is awesome.
00:18:14You! It's not possible! What do you want to be me?
00:18:40The papers are full of the fight murder mystery.
00:18:42It seemed to me particularly senseless and futile.
00:18:46There was no motive.
00:18:48No motive.
00:18:49Here deep down in the black heart of Thaddeus married you and you'll find a motive.
00:18:53You don't mean to suggest that he had anything to do with it, do you?
00:18:56I suggest nothing.
00:18:59Come in.
00:19:02Inspector, it's strange to see you, sir.
00:19:04Mr. Holmes, Dr. Watson.
00:19:06What's the matter? You look worried.
00:19:07Worried? I'm up to my neck.
00:19:08Again?
00:19:09Before I can begin to finish one cape, I'm plunged into another.
00:19:12That's the penalty of being smart.
00:19:14You came to see me professionally.
00:19:16Well, unofficially.
00:19:18I see. Had you win, tears I lose.
00:19:21There's been a bad business during the night.
00:19:23An old gentleman.
00:19:24You'll find it a bit of a puzzler.
00:19:25You mean you found it a bit of a puzzler.
00:19:27We've left everything in status quo, hoping you'll favor us with an opinion.
00:19:31Dead?
00:19:33Murder?
00:19:35Suicide.
00:19:36Come, Watson.
00:19:37Game is a put.
00:19:52He was well known as a stamp collector.
00:19:54Very interesting.
00:20:13What is it, Holmes?
00:20:14That leads out to the garden.
00:20:32Silver Mews are judged by the rusty hinges.
00:20:34Silver Mews.
00:21:04Good morning, Fred.
00:21:11Good morning.
00:21:34You can see that I've left everything untouched.
00:21:52If a herd of buffalo has passed along, it couldn't be a greater mess.
00:21:57You can take a smoke.
00:21:58Thank you, sir.
00:21:59What do you think?
00:22:02There's been murder done, and the murderer was a man.
00:22:07He was in the prime of life, six feet in height, has small feet, wear square-toed boots, limps
00:22:14slightly on the left foot, and smokes Trichinopoly cigars.
00:22:17If it was murder, how was it committed?
00:22:21The assassin was in the house before his victim arrived.
00:22:25He hid in the recess behind the window.
00:22:28While there, he smoked cigars.
00:22:31He fired a shot which hit the victim on the back of the head, and then dragged the body
00:22:36to where you found it.
00:22:37He left, and returned some while later to fire a second shot, this time through the mouth.
00:22:43You'll find the mark of a boot clearly imprinted on the congealed blood.
00:22:47What was his object?
00:22:48To obliterate the effect of the first, hoping by so doing to transfer the crime from that
00:22:54of murder to one of suicide.
00:22:56Bullet number one you will find in the wall on the farther side of the room.
00:23:01The other will be found embedded in the body of the murdered man.
00:23:06Come, Watson.
00:23:08We mustn't keep Mr. Mary to you waiting.
00:23:20Mr. Holmes is still waiting, sir.
00:23:22Oh.
00:23:23How long has it been now?
00:23:24Fully two hours, sir.
00:23:27That's as it should be.
00:23:29You may show him in now.
00:23:30Very good, sir.
00:23:31Mr. Holmes, this is indeed a pleasure.
00:23:42I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but I had to digest my lunch.
00:23:46This is my friend and partner, Dr. Watson's.
00:23:48How do you do?
00:23:49Good support, gentlemen.
00:23:51No.
00:23:52Hmm.
00:23:53Cigar?
00:23:57Be seated, gentlemen.
00:24:04I represent Annabelle Mary Murphy.
00:24:08Charming lady.
00:24:09I'm empowered to act on her behalf.
00:24:11Congratulations.
00:24:12As you are doubtless aware, her husband came to a premature and sudden end.
00:24:17Dear, dear.
00:24:18My client is under an impression that certain monies belonging to the deceased are being unlawfully with helplessness.
00:24:24belonging to the deceased are being unlawfully withheld from her.
00:24:28By whom?
00:24:29By you.
00:24:31And you believe this delightful lady?
00:24:34I'm paid to find out.
00:24:36Hmm.
00:24:37An angry woman is hard to pacify.
00:24:39So I thought that an amicable discussion with you would put me in possession of certain facts with which I could prove to my client the absurdity of her claim.
00:24:48I see.
00:24:50Is that all?
00:24:55That is all.
00:24:56Dear, dear, you're not smoking my cigar.
00:24:59You refuse to assist me.
00:25:00My dear Mr. Holmes, I have neither the information nor the authority.
00:25:04You see, until a few days ago I was not aware that your distinguished client existed.
00:25:08In my profession I deal with many cases impartially and legally without coming into personal contact with my client.
00:25:14It won't do, Mr. Merritt.
00:25:17Anything else?
00:25:18May I trouble you for a pencil and paper?
00:25:21Help yourself.
00:25:23Mr. Busybody home.
00:25:29By the way, I think you should know that another client of yours met his death last night.
00:25:46Mr. Malcolm Deering found murdered.
00:25:51Good day, Mr. Merritt.
00:26:05Come, Watson.
00:26:06Cold-blooded monster.
00:26:07Well, I've given him something to think about.
00:26:09Did you see what I saw?
00:26:10His feet.
00:26:11What about it?
00:26:12Well, they were small feet.
00:26:14And the boots.
00:26:15Well, well.
00:26:16The square-toed.
00:26:18Square-toed.
00:26:19Really?
00:26:20Yes, I saw them.
00:26:23The what about it?
00:26:24They are small feet.
00:26:27And the boots.
00:26:28Well, well.
00:26:29The square toad!
00:26:30Square-toad.
00:26:31Really?
00:26:32Yes, sir!
00:26:33The square toad!
00:26:35The square toad!
00:26:37The square toad!
00:26:38Mm.
00:26:39The square toad!
00:26:40Mm.
00:26:41Yes, sir, sir!
00:26:43Really?
00:26:44Yes, and did you remark the brand of cigar?
00:26:46Cigar?
00:26:47Trichinopoly.
00:26:48It was stenciled in big letters on the top of the box.
00:26:52Is that all you observed?
00:26:54Was there anything else?
00:26:55A hundred things.
00:26:57Among them, the Cypher to the Cove.
00:26:59A large book, Watson.
00:27:00I saw no Bible.
00:27:02Would you call Whittaker's Almanac a large?
00:27:04Yes, indeed.
00:27:05In that book will be found the message of the numbers.
00:27:13Mr. Holmes.
00:27:14Mrs. Pike.
00:27:25Holmes, what did you write on that sheet of paper?
00:27:28A long shot in the dark, Watson.
00:27:30But he did a bruise on the paper.
00:27:43Miss Forrester lives here, I believe.
00:27:45Tell her that Mr. Meridue wishes to see her.
00:27:47Mr. Thaddeus Meridue.
00:27:48And hurry!
00:27:51Mr. Meridue calling to see you, Miss.
00:27:53Miss Forrester.
00:27:56You're looking charming as ever.
00:27:59I see you receive my flowers.
00:28:02I sent them to soften the unexpectedness of my visit.
00:28:04You come about the murder of Captain Pike?
00:28:06No.
00:28:07Have the police been pestering you?
00:28:09No.
00:28:10I was fortunate enough to keep your name out of it.
00:28:12Have you seen today's papers?
00:28:14Shocking.
00:28:15Shocking.
00:28:16Poor old gentleman.
00:28:18This is a very wicked world we're living in, Miss Forrester.
00:28:21This will necessitate another meeting.
00:28:24That's why I came myself to tell you.
00:28:26Safer.
00:28:27Too many eavesdroppers.
00:28:29Busybodies concerning themselves with other people's business.
00:28:33The same time, the same place, tomorrow night.
00:28:37Oh, please don't ask me to go to that dreadful place again.
00:28:39Well, unfortunately in this case I'm a servant.
00:28:42Carrying out instructions.
00:28:44You've nothing to worry about.
00:28:46Not a thing.
00:28:47Not a thing in the world.
00:28:50Oh, this is my...
00:28:52Mr. Stanford, Mr. Meridue.
00:28:55Remember.
00:28:56I seem to see you every place.
00:29:01Who is that man?
00:29:14He's my lawyer.
00:29:15Oh.
00:29:16I remember seeing him the other night.
00:29:19What's he doing here?
00:29:21Oh, please don't begin that all over again.
00:29:23Well, Eileen, surely I have a right to know.
00:29:31Oh, John.
00:29:32I'm so miserable.
00:29:36It's something that concerns Father.
00:29:39Just before he died, he sent for me.
00:29:41I remember his words.
00:29:43On my death, you'll find yourself well provided for.
00:29:47You'll be rich.
00:29:48Remember this name.
00:29:50He repeated it twice.
00:29:52Married you.
00:29:54Should he communicate with you?
00:29:57Follow his instructions.
00:29:59For through him will come this inheritance.
00:30:02And the meeting three days ago?
00:30:04Began the fulfillment of father's word.
00:30:14I think I'm beginning to understand.
00:30:24I thought I saw...
00:30:31John!
00:30:32John!
00:30:33John!
00:30:46He was a black-bearded man.
00:30:47Ill-dressed.
00:30:48Looked like a tramp.
00:30:49How tall?
00:30:50Oh, quite tall.
00:30:52Could you keep Miss Forrester under observation without her knowing it?
00:30:56I don't understand.
00:30:58Is Eileen in danger?
00:30:59In great danger.
00:31:00You are wise in coming to see me.
00:31:04Should anything unforeseen occur, get in touch with me.
00:31:07Go to her.
00:31:09Remember.
00:31:10Get in touch with me.
00:31:11We are getting on, Watson.
00:31:12I'm glad to see you in a more cheerful mood.
00:31:26We've done remarkably well.
00:31:27I am pleased.
00:31:28I admit I could do with a little explanation.
00:31:29I, too, feel a little curious.
00:31:30I considered the claims of Whittaker's Almanac.
00:31:31As I suspected.
00:31:32The large number represented the page.
00:31:33The second, the small number, the column.
00:31:34And the other figures, the message.
00:31:35You'll find it decoded on the table.
00:31:36You'll find it decoded on the table.
00:31:41Thank you, Watson.
00:31:42I'm glad to see you in a more cheerful mood.
00:31:43We've done remarkably well.
00:31:44I am pleased.
00:31:45I admit I could do with a little explanation.
00:31:46I, too, feel a little curious.
00:31:47I considered the claims of Whittaker's Almanac.
00:31:49As I suspected.
00:31:50The large number represented the page.
00:31:53The second, the small number, the column.
00:31:55And the other figures, the message.
00:31:57You'll find it decoded on the table.
00:32:06Meeting of Scarlet Ring.
00:32:08Tuesday.
00:32:09Limehouse.
00:32:11In.
00:32:16Very due.
00:32:18Possibly.
00:32:19Tomorrow will appear in the personal column of the Daily Telegraph a second message.
00:32:23A request for information.
00:32:25Your message?
00:32:26My message.
00:32:27And the next step?
00:32:29The need of fresh air will take me in the country tomorrow.
00:32:32In the meantime, relaxation.
00:32:35Music.
00:32:36I hope I won't bore you.
00:32:38Not if you make it soft.
00:32:56The next step.
00:32:57The next step.
00:32:59I hope.
00:33:00It's not worth it.
00:33:01There's a change in the country.
00:33:02The next step.
00:33:03The next step.
00:33:04The next step.
00:33:05The next step.
00:33:06Mr. Strain.
00:33:07against Les Wester. Same as I say. That were a worried bad business about Captain Pike.
00:33:15A worried bad business. Same as I say. Tell us how the old range is going under the emmer.
00:33:24Lock, stock and barrel. Same as I say. I know I almost broke this old back of mine
00:33:31of weed in that old garden. And to look at it now, you think I'd spent all me time in here?
00:33:37Morning, sir. Morning. Morning, morning. How far is the Grange from here? Some will tell you four miles
00:33:50and some will tell you five. But I say it's more than four and less than five. Is there any means
00:33:56of getting there besides walking? Bless your heart. Yes, sir. I've an old trap. I'll harness up old
00:34:02Caesar and old Willie. He'll drive you over. May it take anything to drink? Wouldn't come amiss.
00:34:11Scotch. Scotch and splash. Put a bottle on the table, some glasses and a cipher of soda.
00:34:16Come in, sir. Come in. Lord, love us. It feels good to be busy again. You're a godsend to him, sir.
00:34:22He hasn't had a paying customer for a long time.
00:34:27Check on the ship, sir. Before you can see Jack Robinson.
00:34:32Help yourself. Thank you, sir. Just a little rock, sir.
00:34:40Say when. When?
00:34:44Well, here's your very good help, sir.
00:34:46Oh, I feel like a new man, sir.
00:34:55Well, and now give the new man a drink.
00:34:57Righto, sir.
00:35:03Well, here's your very good help, the Grange, sir.
00:35:06Good help.
00:35:08Were you born in these parts?
00:35:12I've never seen none other.
00:35:14Worked for the Park family, all me lost.
00:35:16Till I got tired of working.
00:35:19Got this old backache from weeding the flaggy old garden.
00:35:22Then you would remember the late Captain.
00:35:25And his father, and the old gentleman of Foley's father.
00:35:31See that dent?
00:35:33That belongs to Captain Point.
00:35:35A mob caused possibly by the imprint of a stone.
00:35:39And right you are, sir.
00:35:41Many a good-licking young master Robin got for chucking stones at me, sir.
00:35:45Sounded as though the young man was somewhat wild.
00:35:49Wild?
00:35:50He was a holy terror.
00:35:52Ready and waiting, sir?
00:35:55I've wanted to pull, Caesar, and he's ready to go.
00:35:57He was telling me some more on the way over.
00:36:00Better bring the bottle.
00:36:02Go on, then, sir.
00:36:03Scotch is sure good for the backer.
00:36:10Steady, Caesar, steady.
00:36:12He's hard to handle when he's raring to go, sir.
00:36:15You were saying?
00:36:15You can't make English gentry out of the eathen Chinese, no, Al.
00:36:20Not in these parts.
00:36:22Very difficult, I imagine.
00:36:24When the Captain was alive, did he stay here often?
00:36:28Until last Tuesday, we ain't seen nothing on him for close now on to two years.
00:36:34Hmm.
00:36:37Shall we have one, sir?
00:36:39You take two.
00:36:41Right, Al, sir.
00:36:42The old back feels better already, sir.
00:36:54Magic.
00:36:56There's the grange now, sir.
00:36:59Looks at his servants there now.
00:37:01Well, not in what you might call real servants, sir.
00:37:04This daft doll it, and where you might have to be to keep that place.
00:37:09I kept it for 30 years.
00:37:11Stop a moment.
00:37:13Whoa, Caesar.
00:37:35I'll walk the rest of the way I'm in hurry.
00:37:38Wait here for me.
00:37:39I won't dodge an inch.
00:38:07I beg your pardon.
00:38:08I'll walk the rest of the way.
00:38:10Is your mistress in?
00:38:36No, sir.
00:38:37Where is she?
00:38:38Lennon Town.
00:38:40I understand that this house is for sale.
00:38:42I may wish to buy it.
00:38:43I look it over.
00:38:44I look it over.
00:38:45I look it over.
00:38:46I look it over.
00:38:47I look it over.
00:38:48I look it over.
00:38:49I look it over.
00:38:50I look it over.
00:38:51I look it over.
00:38:52I look it over.
00:38:53I look it over.
00:38:54I look it over.
00:38:55I look it over.
00:38:56The good.
00:38:57Who's up?
00:38:58No, no, no, no, no.
00:39:00That's her mistress.
00:39:01Such a good looker.
00:39:02Such a good looker.
00:39:03That's mistress. Such a good looker. Such eye. She walks like a cat. Such a figure. Such a fine bit of goods.
00:39:16Buzz. Buzz.

00:40:03Don't you feel all good?
00:40:14In my heart.
00:40:16Water, quick.
00:40:17Just a minute, just a minute.
00:40:33Let's drink this.
00:40:46I'm dying.
00:40:47Do the phone for a doctor.
00:40:49Oh, Ned.
00:40:50We haven't got any phones in the house.
00:40:52Let him go for what?
00:40:53Doctor's a good five miles away.
00:40:56Fetch him.
00:40:57Hurry, hurry.
00:40:59Run.
00:40:59All right.
00:41:00I'll run, I'll run.

00:43:16I'll run.
00:43:17I'll run.
00:43:18I'll run.
00:43:49It's so kind of you to come, knowing my late husband as intimately as you did.
00:44:18I felt I could turn to no better person to help me through this dying time.
00:44:23Well, you know, anything I can do.
00:44:26You are very nervous today.
00:44:28Well, I can't help it. Look at my hands.
00:44:30You know, I'm crumbling all over.
00:44:33There.
00:44:33Well, that'll stop the rattling at any rate.
00:44:38My late husband always spoke of you in the warmest terms.
00:44:41And you know the highway garden which I've always held you.
00:44:44Oh, have you?
00:44:45Can you doubt it?
00:44:47You are the only one who knows my husband's affairs.
00:44:50Everything has been left in the most terrible disorder.
00:44:53My house in the country will be sold.
00:44:55I wonder if you could spare the time.
00:44:59Yes?
00:45:01You could be my guest over the weekend.
00:45:05And we could go through his papers together.
00:45:07Well, you know, with pleasure.
00:45:09I could do with a bit of a change.
00:45:11We could drive down.
00:45:13Would tonight be possible?
00:45:15Tonight?
00:45:16No.
00:45:16You see, I've got an important meeting tonight.
00:45:18Then tomorrow.
00:45:21Tomorrow.
00:45:21May, may I make a little confession?
00:45:25You know, Mrs. Pike, I've always admired you tremendously.
00:45:30Yes, Lee.
00:45:50Who's that?
00:45:51Baker!
00:45:52Oh, it's you, is it?
00:45:54Who do you think it was?
00:45:55Where are the others?
00:45:56I'm the first one here.
00:46:00There's a rat among us.
00:46:02Yes, and he's facing me.
00:46:03Seek it on a chair.
00:46:05Don't I?
00:46:06Someone has given away the code.
00:46:10Anyone supplying information concerning the Scarlet Ring will be rewarded.
00:46:16Apply Sherlock Holmes, 221A Baker Street.
00:46:22It's one of us.
00:46:24That's certain.
00:46:25We can leave a girl out of it.
00:46:27Can't be that dumb China.
00:46:30There remains you, myself, and married you.
00:46:36Well, it's not me.
00:46:36On my oath.
00:46:37Or me, I swear it.
00:46:40Then it's...
00:46:40I thought that snake was double-crossing me.
00:46:43But it's getting on my nerves.
00:46:46It's like living a nightmare.
00:46:48First Murphy, then Pike, then Deering.
00:46:50Who'll be next?
00:46:51Listen.
00:46:56Suppose someone wants to supply information to Sherlock Holmes.
00:46:59Then it would all come out.
00:47:01No, no.
00:47:01Holmes is different from the police.
00:47:03He protects clients.
00:47:05Holmes works with the police.
00:47:08What's in the back of your mind?
00:47:10I want a fighting charge.
00:47:12I want a living.
00:47:13This suspense is getting on my nerves.
00:47:16It's killing me.
00:47:17What suspense?
00:47:18Well, pray we see the gentleman.
00:47:23I overheard your conversation.
00:47:26It's most illuminating.
00:47:27We are not going on.
00:47:29No.
00:47:30Then why not, Frank?
00:47:31I don't want to die like Murphy.
00:47:33Or be found dead like Pike.
00:47:34No, perhaps you'd like to spend the rest of your lives in prison.
00:47:37Hmm?
00:47:37No, my friends.
00:47:40Crime brought you together, and by crime you will stick together.
00:47:46Gentlemen, in a few more days, the Scarlet Ring will cease to exist.
00:47:50We'll cease to exist, Jermaine.
00:47:52I have just received word from the agent at Antwerp that the plunder has finally been disposed of.
00:47:58This time next week, the principle will be in my hands.
00:48:02A small, unimportant matter of some one million pounds to be divided.
00:48:07Equally among us.
00:48:09Two hundred thousand pounds, peace.
00:48:13Two hundred thousand pounds.
00:48:14And meanwhile?
00:48:16You've waited for five years.
00:48:18What's a matter of a few days?
00:48:19Here, what guarantee is there we'll be alive to receive it?
00:48:23None.
00:48:24Of course, if it were a question of your life without the money, it might be arranged.
00:48:29How?
00:48:30A letter in the form of a deed of gift relinquishing your right to any benefits accruing to the society.
00:48:35And give up two hundred thousand pounds?
00:48:37It might insure your life.
00:48:39I see a burn first.
00:48:44Shh.
00:48:45Not a word.
00:48:52Well, Miss Forrester, this is a pleasure.
00:48:54Come in.
00:48:59Won't you sit down?
00:49:00And now to business.
00:49:13Miss Forrester and gentlemen, again I have the pleasure of presiding at this meeting.

00:49:54Oh, thanks, gentlemen, you've come.

00:49:57She went to the side door.
00:49:58There were four others.
00:50:18A lawyer, two white men, strangers, and a Chinaman.
00:50:21When it comes, it won't come from the sky.
00:50:41Oh, sag up.
00:50:43Oh, I'm on fire.
00:50:45Life's worth more to me than money.
00:50:47Yours may be.
00:50:48Mine isn't.
00:50:50Shall we walk to the station together?
00:50:51No, no, you go ahead.

00:59:07What brings you gentlemen round these airports?
00:59:15This friend of mine belongs to the medical profession.
00:59:18A patient of his has escaped.
00:59:20An old gentleman of any dangerous character.
00:59:22That's the reason for all these wardens.
00:59:24And old gentleman? Wearing a cape?
00:59:27Stoops a bit?
00:59:28Big in the valley?
00:59:29You've seen him?
00:59:30Have I seen him?
00:59:31Yes, sir.
00:59:32The dolly at the grave seen him.
00:59:33And Dr. Smallwood ought to see him, but he never set eyes on him.
00:59:36As sure as I'm standing here, sir.
00:59:39He sat right there.
00:59:40Indeed, it was the day before yesterday.
00:59:42Doctor, we're on the right set.
00:59:45Stay when?
00:59:46When?
00:59:51Well, here's your very good help, sir.

01:00:06Come along.
01:00:07What'll you have?
01:00:08Well, I'm here hoping that we get him.
01:00:10Who?
01:00:11Gash my buttons if I know.
01:00:13My mind has never been in such a fog.
01:00:19It's time to leave.
01:00:20Gregson should be there by now.
01:00:22We'll have the grain so well surrounded a cat couldn't get through without being seen.
01:00:26Come along, men.
01:00:33Mr. Holmes, something terrible has happened.
01:00:37Miss Forrester has disappeared.
01:00:39Disappeared?
01:00:40But I told you to guard her.
01:00:41But I couldn't understand your telegram.
01:00:42Telegram?
01:00:43What telegram?
01:00:44Instructing me to meet you at Dover.
01:00:45Are you mad?
01:00:46I don't know.
01:00:47I'm almost insane with worry.
01:00:48Go on.
01:00:49Well, I arrived at Dover and suspected it was a hoax.
01:00:51I turned to London immediately.
01:00:52Fortunately, I have a racing car.
01:00:54Arriving there, I went straight to Eileen's house.
01:00:57She's gone.
01:00:58I made some minutes she left in the early afternoon with a strange woman.
01:01:02A Chinese woman?
01:01:03Yes.
01:01:04I called you, but you left.
01:01:05When I gave my name to your housekeeper, she told me where I could locate you.
01:01:08Oh, Mr. Holmes, what could have happened?
01:01:10Or what could she be?
01:01:11Come, Mr. Abe.
01:01:12There's not a moment to lose.
01:01:13Mr. Holmes is late.
01:01:24Are you sure you're not mistaken?
01:01:26I had written instructions to bring you here.
01:01:28You saw them.
01:01:30Perhaps before.
01:01:32I'm certain to be here.
01:01:34If not tonight, then tomorrow morning.
01:01:38Who's that?
01:01:40Strange.
01:01:41I seldom close.
01:01:52Stop!
01:01:55You open the door, and I'll choke the light by the end.
01:01:58Mr. Wilson.
01:01:59Have you lost your reason?
01:02:01Tell her if he opens that door, he'll never lift over another.
01:02:06Sponsor.
01:02:11Who is it?
01:02:15Telegraph.
01:02:16White.
01:02:23Telegraph.
01:02:24Miss Forrester.
01:02:25I'll give it to her.
01:02:26On.
01:02:41Good news?
01:02:42Excuse me.
01:02:43Hey, what is it?
01:02:44What is it?
01:02:45What is it?
01:02:46What does it mean?
01:02:47Well, I'm going to be in.
01:02:48Miss Forrester.
01:02:49Miss Forrester.
01:02:50When you go to your room, lock your door.
01:02:51Good news?
01:02:59Excuse me.
01:03:00Hey, what is it? What is it?
01:03:03What does it mean?
01:03:07Your arm would have been.
01:03:10Miss Forrester, when you go to your room, lock your door.
01:03:17And keep it locked.
01:03:21What's the matter?
01:03:24I'm rather chilly.
01:03:29Who's that?
01:03:30It's me, sir.
01:03:32Did you deliver the telegram?
01:03:33Yes, sir.
01:03:34To Miss Forrester herself?
01:03:35I give it to one lady to give to the other, sir.
01:03:37Thank you. Good night.
01:03:38Good night, sir.
01:03:39Will you let me go to her?
01:03:41Wait.
01:03:42I'll never do it again.
01:03:44What?
01:03:45Stand about all night without a flask.
01:03:48Look, Holmes. Over there.
01:03:50Stop your gun.
01:03:54Well, Inspector?
01:03:55I've checked up on all points.
01:03:56No one could have slipped through.
01:04:01Good night, my dear.
01:04:02My bedroom is just across the corridor.
01:04:05If you should walk before anything, don't hesitate to call me.
01:04:19Good night.
01:04:20Good night.
01:04:21Mr. Wilson, are you in bed?
01:04:26Yes, yes.
01:04:27Sorry.
01:04:28Good night.
01:04:29Good night.
01:04:30Good night.
01:04:31Good night.
01:04:32Who's that?
01:04:33Jackson.
01:04:34He's here.
01:04:35Came by boat.
01:04:36When?
01:04:37Fifteen minutes ago.
01:04:38I don't know.
01:04:39I don't know.
01:04:40I don't know.
01:04:41I don't know.
01:04:42I don't know.
01:04:43I don't know.
01:04:44I don't know.
01:04:45I don't know.
01:04:46It's this fog.
01:04:47Our men lost their bearings.
01:04:48Watch the front of the house.
01:04:49Come.
01:04:50Come.
01:04:51All right.
01:04:52You stay here.
01:04:53Very good.

01:04:57Good night.
01:04:58Good night.
01:04:59Good night.
01:05:00Who's that?
01:05:01Jackson.
01:05:02He's here.
01:05:03Came by boat.
01:05:04When?
01:05:05Fifteen minutes ago.
01:05:06Come.
01:05:07Come.
01:05:08All right.
01:05:09You stay here.
01:05:10Very good.
01:05:29I thought you would never come.
01:05:31To this gossip park.
01:05:33Where's the girl?
01:05:35At the end of the corridor.
01:05:37Good.
01:05:38Wilson.
01:05:39He's locked his door.
01:05:41Came out.
01:05:42Offering any inducement.
01:05:48It's in the house.
01:06:05It's Eileen.
01:06:06That's Eileen.
01:06:07Mr. Wilson.
01:06:08Quick.
01:06:09Miss Forrester.
01:06:10Something terrible is happening.
01:06:11Mr. Wilson.
01:06:12Quick.
01:06:13Miss Forrester.
01:06:14Something terrible is happening.
01:06:18I live.
01:06:19I live.
01:06:20I live.
01:06:21I live.
01:06:22I live.
01:06:23My darling, are you all right?
01:06:53My darling, help!
01:06:59Break it down.
01:07:04Help!
01:07:09Holmes!
01:07:11Holmes!
01:07:12Are you all right?
01:07:13Quite all right.
01:07:14Thank you, Watson.
01:07:15Take them downstairs.
01:07:23As I suspected.
01:07:44Captain Pike.
01:07:52You were charged with the murders of James Murphy, Malcolm Dearing and William Baker.
01:07:57And this woman?
01:07:58As an accomplice.
01:07:59Take them away.
01:08:09I saw him killed.
01:08:10You saw him pretend to be killed.
01:08:13It was he who attacked you.
01:08:15He was shot.
01:08:16No shot broke that window.
01:08:19He broke it himself.
01:08:20But the blood.
01:08:22Animal blood.
01:08:23On a sponge.
01:08:24Mary G, of course, was in on it.
01:08:26Mr. Holmes!
01:08:27There's a second man outside.
01:08:29Came the car.
01:08:30I thought it my duty to detain him.
01:08:32Bring him in.
01:08:41Well, well, well, Mr. Holmes.
01:08:43This is indeed a surprise.
01:08:45What are you doing here?
01:08:47Well, surely a man has a right to visit his own house.
01:08:49I own the mortgage on this place.
01:08:51I've invited some friends down for the weekend to discuss some business.
01:08:55It won't do, Mary G.
01:08:56Arrest him.
01:08:58Well, this is rather a high-handed procedure.
01:09:01What are the charges, Holmes?
01:09:03The greatest possible.
01:09:05That of being accessory to the murders of James Murphy, Malcolm Dearing and William Baker.
01:09:10And with the attempted murder of Jabez Wilson and Miss Eileen Forrester.
01:09:15Hmm.
01:09:16Rather a tall indictment.
01:09:17I think you'd better have the bracelets.
01:09:19May I help you?
01:09:20I have more than a nubbit.
01:09:22I...
01:09:23Then who can tell?
01:09:24I say who can tell?
01:09:26Mr. Made promotion this day.
01:09:33I'm very grateful to you, Mr. Holmes.
01:09:35But how you did it beats me.
01:09:37Simple enough.
01:09:38Simple.
01:09:39Simple?
01:09:40By the examination of the footsteps in the garden of Mr. Dearing's house,
01:09:45probably certain of the murderer's description.
01:09:48You'll remember the ring.
01:09:49There was no mark to indicate that it had remained on that finger for a period of six years,
01:09:54as stated by his mistress.
01:09:56His wife, you?
01:09:57Mistress Watson.
01:09:58Mistress.
01:09:59Well, you ought to know.
01:10:01And the scarlet ring?
01:10:03Perhaps you'll remember the disappearance of the Mandarin's gems in China some years ago.
01:10:07Perfectly.
01:10:08To realize on gems of international repute would be a ticklish matter?
01:10:12Very.
01:10:13That'd have to be broken up piece by piece and then disposed of carefully and slowly.
01:10:16Exactly.
01:10:17The scarlet ring was formed by the instigators of the original crime to protect the receiving end.
01:10:23And what was Pike's motive?
01:10:24Green.
01:10:25The last survivor would become the recipient of the entire booting.
01:10:29I think it would be found that Pike was the original ringleader.
01:10:32But Mr. Wilson could furnish us with an answer to that.
01:10:35Not one word.
01:10:41We shall never forget you, Mr. Holmes.
01:10:43Rather not so.
01:10:44You must invite me to the wedding.
01:10:46Perhaps you'll give me away.
01:10:47I appreciate the compliment, but I never give a lady away.
01:10:51Except I'm professional.
01:10:52Come, Doctor.
01:10:53They'll send you when they need you.
01:10:56I need you.
