A politician who is blackmailed turns to Sherlock Holmes (Ronald
Howard) for help, and Holmes soon figures it all has to do with Jeremy
Oliver's (Duncan Elliott) marriage agency - so he and Watson (Howard
Marion Crawford) go undercover and pose as wealthy bachelors to see what
the agency is all about ... and before you know it, Holmes gets tricked
into starting a fistfight and is thrown into jail as part of an elaborate
blackmail scheme. Holmes counts on his friend inspector Lestrade (Archie
Duncan) to get him out of jail, but unfortunately this is not Lestrade's
case but inspector Mason's (Seymour Green), who has no interest in
releasing Holmes - and so it's up to Watson and Lestrade to break into
Oliver's office and gather evidence, but unfortunately they are caught by
Oliver and his men and tied up. Fortunately though Holmes does manage
Mason to investigate Oliver's company after all, providing Mason with a
moment of triumph when he finds Lestrade all tied up, but also enabling
him to get all the necessary evidence to arrest Oliver. Still, in this
episode Lestrade has the last laugh when he visits Holmes in his prison
cell - and tells him he can't release him because it's simply not his case
...
A not really cleverly written episode - all the clues are presented way
too obvious here and it makes one wonder why the characters don't get them
any sooner - this one is nevertheless mildly amusing, if only for the
scenes when Holmes and Watson court two ladies from the marriage agency
and Lestrade ridiculing Holmes in prison ...
