Old Time Radio Detective — Sherlock Holmes: "The Unfortunate Tobacconist" (1945) | Full Episode

Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce as Holmes and Watson, broadcast April 30, 1945. Three shopkeepers have been murdered along the fog-blind London docks, and all the police have is a rumour that a bearded Hindu haunts the waterfront. Then the trail turns toward Mycroft Holmes — the brother who never leaves his chair at the Diogenes Club — and whose interest in a dead tobacconist is not the sort of thing Whitehall explains. A fourth man will die unless Holmes reaches the right shop first. An original case by Anthony Boucher and Denis Green, and a rare radio appearance for Mycroft. 🎧 Hundreds more classic radio shows free at https://www.vintageradioshows.com 📱 Listen anywhere with the Vintage Radio app for iPhone and iPad: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vintage-radio/id455577974
