Summary
In this affectionate spoof of the exploits of Sherlock Holmes, the Tony award winning author of Da farcically piles complications on hilarious exaggerations to steep his tale in comic enjoyment. The renowned detective and his ever present cohort Dr. Watson are enlisted to prove the innocence of a young man accused of murder on the Waterloo Bridge. The trail of clues and red herrings leads the trusty sleuths to none other than Holmes' arch rival, Professor James Moriarty.
