Sherlock Holmes (TV-1955) THE IMPOSTER MYSTERY (S1E29)

Hailed as the most faithfully filmed adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s legendary characters. This acclaimed series stars Ronald Howard as the world-famous sleuth and H. Marion Crawford in a different portrayal of Dr. Watson than usual. THE CASE OF THE IMPOSTOR MYSTERY: Holmes and Watson return from a vacation to learn that a Holmes impersonator has been been at work. The phony told Lestrade to guard one jewelry store while he robbed another and stole valuables from a client he told to hide valuables in a biscuit jar. Setting a trap for the impostor, Watson poses as the visiting Maharaja of Gandoor who’s traveling with his huge collection of jewels. As hoped, the master of disguise visits, posing as a reporter, and agrees to introduce the maharaja to the great (fake) Holmes.
