    THE TERRIFYING CATS and THE SUBMARINE CAVES THE NEW ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES

    "The Terrifying Cats" and "The Submarine Caves" are episodes of the radio series The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, which originally starred Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson. These episodes often featured original scripts by Anthony Boucher and Denis Green rather than direct adaptations of Arthur Conan Doyle's stories.  The Terrifying Cats Original Air Date: February 25, 1946  In this episode, Holmes is approached by an American opera singer who has a paralyzing, deadly fear of cats. The case evolves into a murder investigation when the singer is accused of a crime in Rome. Holmes and Watson must travel to Italy to exonerate the singer and uncover the truth behind the sinister forces at play.  Key Plot Points: The client suffers from an intense phobia of felines. Holmes and Watson journey to Rome to solve the mystery. The investigation involves exonerating the opera singer of a murder charge.  The Submarine Caves Original Air Date: March 4, 1946  Set in the summer of 1896, Holmes and Watson travel to the Island of Garth (referred to in some records as the Island of G), a small, independent territory in the English Channel. Their official, public reason for visiting is a bizarre diplomatic tradition: accepting an annual ceremonial pound of butter on behalf of the British Crown.  The Hidden Threat: The island contains a massive interior cavern accessible only through underwater channels. This makes it a strategically vital natural harbor and dry dock for a submarine fleet. The Mystery: Upon arrival, they discover the island's ruler, Martha Horn (known as Mother Horn), has died suddenly. Holmes suspects poisoning due to a "silly grin" on her face. The Conflict: Holmes must contend with the island's housekeeper, Mrs. Reeves, who exerts a suspicious amount of control over the new heir, Christopher Horn. The Resolution: Holmes uncovers a German-linked espionage plot involving Dr. Oberwald and Mrs. Reeves. They intended to use the island as a secret submarine base, threatening the security of the British Isles.  Next Step: Would you like me to find more details on other episodes Get all of our shows at one website:www.bestof1001stories REVIEWS NEEDED .

    MURDER IN THE CASBAH and A SCANDAL IN BOHEMIA THE NEW ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES

    The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes was a popular American radio series that aired from 1939 to 1950, primarily starring Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson. The show followed a framing device where a retired Watson, living in California, would share stories of his past cases with a weekly guest. While some episodes were direct adaptations of Arthur Conan Doyle's original stories, many others were original scripts written specifically for the radio.  Episode Summaries Murder in the Casbah (Original Air Date: December 3, 1945) Holmes and Watson travel to North Africa to search for an Englishman named Douglas Milton, who fled Britain years prior after being wrongly accused of murder. Milton is now the heir to a noble title, but he is hiding in the lawless Casbah of Algiers, where he has joined the Foreign Legion. The detectives must navigate a web of mystery involving a beautiful woman and criminal elements to clear his name and secure his inheritance. A Scandal in Bohemia (Original Air Date: December 10, 1945) In this adaptation of the famous short story, the King of Bohemia hires Holmes to retrieve a compromising photograph from Irene Adler, an opera singer with whom the King once had an affair. The King fears Adler will use the photo to ruin his upcoming royal marriage. Despite using elaborate disguises and a staged fire to locate the photo, Holmes is ultimately outwitted by Adler, who discovers his ruse and flees with her new husband—though she leaves a letter promising never to use the photo against the King New Twitter address- @1001podcast Follow Us!  Get all of our shows at one website: www.bestof1001stories.com REVIEWS NEEDED .

    THE GREAT GONDOLPHO and MURDER BY MOONLITE THE NEW ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES

    Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce take us on another great Sherlock Holmes Adventure sponsored by Petri Wines. "The Great Gandolfo" is an episode of The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes radio series, which aired on October 22, 1945, starring Basil Rathbone as Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson. It was written by Anthony Boucher and Denis Green, and while not an original Arthur Conan Doyle story, it was inspired by "The Adventure of the Second Stain" (1904).  Summary: The Setup: The episode, sponsored by Petri Wine, begins with Dr. Watson sharing a tale of a case involving a "great" figure, though not in the way one might expect. The Case: Holmes and Watson are involved in a mystery centered on a character named "The Great Gandolfo". Plotline: The narrative involves a tense situation revolving around a missing item, drawing thematic inspiration from "The Adventure of the Second Stain," where a missing document threatens national security. The plot, characteristic of the series, is fast-paced, involving wit and, at times, more humorous elements than the original canon. Context: The show was a popular wartime radio drama, featuring the classic duo of a high-strung Holmes and a genial Watson, with original narrations and commercials.  The episode is part of the 6th season of the series' run on the Mutual Network.  New Twitter address- @1001podcast Follow Us!   REVIEWS NEEDED .
