The famous detective brings his skills to bear on the bloody crimes of Jack the Ripper, in Victorian London's notorious East End. With the whole city in a panic, Holmes (John Neville) receives a mysterious clue in the form of a surgical box, marked with an aristocratic family crest. From this, Holmes, assisted as ever by Dr Watson (Donald Houston), begins his investigations to uncover the identity of the period's most dangerous mass murderer.
