Overview

In London, a secret society led by lawyer Thaddeus Merrydew collects the assets of any of its deceased members and divides them among the remaining members. Society members start dropping like flies. Sherlock Holmes is approached by member James Murphy's widow, who is miffed at being left penniless by her husband. When Captain Pyke is shot, Holmes keys in on his mysterious Chinese widow as well as the shady Merrydew. Other members keep dying: Malcom Dearing first, then Mr. Baker. There is also an attempt on the life of young Eileen Forrester, who became a reluctant society member upon the death of her father. Holmes' uncanny observations and insights are put to the test.

    A group of gents pool their assets to create a society that will benefit each of them equally. When they start getting murdered, one of the widows approaches "Sherlock Holmes" (Reginald Owen) asking him and colleague "Dr. Watson" (Warburton Gamble) to investigate after she is left penniless by their curious arrangement. When another of their number - "Capt. Pyke" (Wyndham Standing) is shot, the mystery moves to his country pile being sold by his widow Anna May Wong, who certainly arouses the suspicions of our detecting duo. As does her solicitor "Thaddeus Merrydew" (Alan Dinehart) whom "Holmes"...
