Old Time Radio Detective — Sherlock Holmes: "The Elusive Agent Part 1" (1949) | Full Episode

John Stanley's Sherlock Holmes carried Baker Street through radio's late golden age, each half-hour framed as a case Dr. Watson recalls over a glass of sherry. "The Adventure of the Elusive Agent" opens a rare three-part serial, broadcast in the spring of 1949 and set not in the gaslit 1890s but in 1913, with Europe drifting toward war.
