John Cleese is hilarious as the descendant of Sherlock Holmes in this modern detective drama of international power- politics and intrigue. Unlike his illustrious grandfather, however, this Sherlock Holmes only succeeds in bungling every job he organizes. Also stars Arthur Lowe as the "bionic" grandson of Doctor Watson, Stratford Johns as the Commissioner of Police, and Connie Booth as Mrs. Hudson. (official distributor synopsis)
