Sherlock Holmes' größter Fall (1965)
Im London des ausgehenden 19. Jahrhunderts werden fünf Prostituierte auf bestialische Weise ermordet. Der bisher unerkannt gebliebene Täter verfügt offenbar über medizinische Kenntnisse und schickt Briefe an Scotland Yard, in denen er die Unfähigkeit der ermittelnden Beamten verhöhnt und weitere Morde ankündigt. Der große Privatdetektiv Sherlock Holmes beginnt sich für den Fall Jack the Ripper zu interessieren, als ihm eine unbekannte Person ein Kästchen mit chirurgischen Instrumenten zukommen lässt, bei dem das große Amputationsmesser fehlt. Auf dem Kästchen selbst ist das Familienwappen der Lords of Carfax zu sehen.
