A coded warning of imminent danger sends Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson to the fortress-like country house of the reclusive Jack Douglas. When they arrive too late to prevent a tragic death, the great detective and his chronicler must follow a series of bewildering clues to find a murderer who has vanished into thin air. Only then will they solve the mystery of the dead man's desperate plea: 'Am I never going to get out of the valley of fear?'

      A Pennsylvania mining town and a secret cult provide the background for this adventure that tests the wits of Sherlock Holmes. Clive Merrison and Michael Williams individually do fine work portraying Holmes and Watson, respectively. But taken together, the actors fail to alter their vocal tones and styles to distinguish the two characters. Likewise, the frequent flashbacks from London in the 1890s to America in the 1870s are not easily distinguished. Confusion aside, the BBC once again provides an exciting and entertaining dramatization, with a full cast, music, and sound effects that bring the story alive. S.E.S.
