La garra escarlata (1944)
En una aldea canadiense existe una antigua leyenda sobre un fantasma que, al parecer, años atrás mató a tres vecinos. Los aldeanos temen que el mostruo vuelva, ya que se han visto extrañas formas luminosas y, además, se han encontrado algunas ovejas brutalmente degolladas. Mientras tanto, Sherlock Holmes y el doctor Watson asisten en Quebec a una reunión de la Real Sociedad Canadiense de las Ciencias Ocultas, donde discuten con Lord Penrose sobre la vieja leyenda aldeana. Lord Penrose, tras conocer la noticia de la muerte de su mujer, recibe una carta escrita por la difunta poco antes de morir, suplicando ayuda. Cuando Holmes va a la aldea para investigar el caso, en seguida comprende que el asesino que busca es un maestro en el arte del disfraz.
