About this listen
The Gunpowder Plot
Exactly as broadcast on November 5, 1945
Will history repeat itself? On the Guy Fawkes holiday in 1899 Holmes and Watson encounter a murder plot with an amazing similarity to a famous case that is almost 300 years old. Can Holmes prevent a murder or will he become a victim himself?
The Babbling Butler
Exactly as broadcast on January 27, 1947
"I must say his actions tonight hardly seem the behavior of a sane man!" comments Dr. Watson on the peculiar musings of the babbling butler. Yet this is only the beginning, as Holmes and Watson find themselves drawn into an investigation of not one, but two tragic deaths.
