Based on Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverto," this made-for-TV offering brings Jeremy Brett back as master sleuth Sherlock Holmes. Art dealer Milverto (Robert Hardy) is also a master blackmailer who has high society Londoners under his control. Sherlock Holmes goes undercover as a plumber to get the goods on Mr. Milverto. Faithful to Doyle's story with some additional, but unnecessary, material added.
