In this early version the classic "Hound of the Baskervilles" mystery is faithfully adapted, although Watson's character is absent. Holmes' foe is called Stapleton and he menaces Holmes' client Lord Henry and his fiancée, Laura Lyons. Written by Doug Sederberg

One of two films found in Adolf Hitler's bunker by the Allies in 1945. The other film was Mann, der Sherlock Holmes war, Der (1937).

According to the book "The Sherlock Holmes File" by Michael Pointer, a print of this film survived in a Russian film archive. Unfortunately, no additional information has surfaced since the book's publication in the 1970s, so the film is officially considered "lost".
