A classic silent-era mystery centered on Holmes's deductive prowess, driven by kidnapping and scandal with the formal restraint and visual storytelling conventions of 1916 cinema.

When a couple of scammers hold young Alice Faulkner against her will to discover the whereabouts of letters whose dissemination could cause a scandal affecting the royal family, Sherlock Holmes decides to take over the case. (Considered lost, a copy was found in 2014, in the vaults of the Cinémathèque Française.)
