What The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother is

London fog. A telegram. Sigerson Holmes, overshadowed by his brother Sherlock, finally gets a crack at a juicy case involving compromising letters and a train to the opera. Mistaken identities and pratfalls ensue. Wilder's slapstick touches elevate this Holmes send-up.
