Mark Ablett's stately mansion is filled with proper guests when his improper brother returned from Australia. Arguing is heard, then the brother gets a bullet between the eyes, the study is locked, and Mrak is missing! Wealthy Antony Gillingham plays Sherlock Holmes, ably assisted by Bill Beverly as his Watson.
The mystery is fine, but the light amusement of the amateur sleuth and his enjoyment at his own cleverness in figuring it out all along the way is deftly delivered.
