Oddly enough, however, Holmes is warned of the plot by Moriarty&#039;s daughter, to whom Holmes (who turns out to be quite a ladies&#039; man) is strongly attracted. The plot then twists and turns until Holmes finds himself imprisoned in a dank cellar, trapped not by young Moriarty but, to his shocked surprise, by the good Dr. Watson — who, it turns out, has long been bitterly resentful of his second-class status as Holmes&#039; lackey. After Holmes&#039; demise Watson comes into his own, or seems to, until a number of impostors turn up claiming to be the real Sherlock Holmes.<br /> <br /> __TOC__<br /> <br /> <br /> == Cast ==<br /> <br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Sherlock Holmes&#039;&#039;&#039; : [[David Fox-Brenton]]<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Dr. Watson&#039;&#039;&#039; : [[Dakin Matthews]], [[Benjamin Stewart]]<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Inspector Lestrade&#039;&#039;&#039; : [[Peter Bromilow]]<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Mrs. Hudson&#039;&#039;&#039; : [[Toni Lamond]]<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Liza&#039;&#039;&#039; : [[Judith Hansen]]<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Damion Moriarty&#039;&#039;&#039; : [[Leif Sarraday]]<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Sherlock Holmes Look-alike&#039;&#039;&#039; : [[Edgar Landudno]]<br /> <br /> <br /> == Crew ==<br /> <br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Director&#039;&#039;&#039; : [[Robert Benedetti]]<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Playwright&#039;&#039;&#039; : [[Charles Marowitz]]<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Artistic &amp; Producing Director&#039;&#039;&#039; : Bill Bushnell, George W.
