Naive shopkeeper Wilson (Alexander Gauge) has taken up a job on the
side working for the Red-Headed League, an organisation open only
for red-headed men, where Wilson's task is to copy the Encyclopedia
Britannica. Thing is, after a while, the league closes down all of a
sudden and Wilson can't find anyone involved with it anymore ... and since
he doesn't want to lose a well-paid job just like that, Wilson turns to
Sherlock Holmes (Ronald Howard), who is on one hand shocked about the
man's naivity, but he investigates all the same and soon finds out the
League was only made up by Wilson's shop assistant Spaulding (Eugene
Deckers) who wanted to dig a tunnel to the neighbouring bank with his
accomplices from the shop's basement, but to that end he needed his boss
out of the house, which is why he made the league up. In the end of
course, Holmes, Watson (Howard Marion Crawford) and inspector Lestrade
(Archie Duncan) manage to capture Spaulding and his gang.
Of course the basic plot of this episode is silly - but in fact it's so
silly it's almost endearing, and it's certainly one of the better episodes
of the series.
