THE ADVENTURE OF THE BLACK ANGUS and THE ADVENTURE OF THE DYING SCHOOLBOYS THE NEW ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES

Both episodes originally aired in 1946 and featured Tom Conway as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson, following Basil Rathbone's departure from the series. The Adventure of the Black Angus Original Air Date: October 19, 1946 Summary: A young woman, a jilted bride-to-be, hires Holmes to investigate why her fiancé—the son of a Scottish Lord—suddenly broke off their engagement without explanation. Holmes and Watson travel to the Scottish Highlands, where they find themselves entangled in a mystery steeped in local folklore. The case involves an ancient family curse and terrifying rumors of werewolves stalking the moors. Note: While an original script for radio, it was loosely inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire." The Adventure of the Dying Schoolboys Original Air Date: November 9, 1946 (sometimes titled "The Singular Affair of the Dying Schoolboys") Summary: Holmes and Watson are summoned to an exclusive, elite boarding school for boys to investigate a disturbing string of deaths among the students. The school is run by an eccentric doctor, and the man who hires Holmes—the brother of one of the deceased boys—suspects foul play rather than natural illness. Holmes must navigate the secretive environment of the academy to uncover the true cause behind the mysterious fatalities. Note: The script for this episode was penned by the famous mystery/sci-fi writing duo Anthony Boucher and Denis Green. Catch all of our 1001 stories shows at www.bestof1001stories.com
