#43 The Secret of the Fives - Sherlock Holmes (Imagination Theater

The American Government asks Sherlock Holmes to find out who is threatening Congress and President McKinley in The Secret of the Fives. Though not a feature length show this 22 minute episode from the first season of Imagination Theater's ongoing Sherlock Holmes radio drama series is very entertaining to say the least. The late John Gilbert stars as Holmes, Larry Albert is Dr. John H. Watson, with special guest Russell Johnson ("the professor" on Gillian's Island). John Patrick Lowrie, who currently plays the role of Holmes, is the narrator.

This episode is reminiscent of the 1940s movie Sherlock Holmes In Washington which starred the quintessential Holmes, Basil Rathbone.
