It's April 1922 and the current cast of William Gillette's latest Broadway revival of Sherlock Holmes has assembled for a relaxing weekend in his Connecticut castle. For entertainment Gillette (best known for his portrayal of Holmes) has planned a séance but someone is trying to murder him and he suspects one of his guests. Intrepid, eccentric and wildly romantic, Gillette plans to solve the case a la Sherlock Holmes. "A Sherlock Holmes who done it kind of mystery packed with suspects and tingled with laughter"
