Sherlock Holmes in The Case of the Christmas Pudding (3x481)

:

At first glance, something as trivial as a Christmas pudding might seem beneath Sherlock Holmes’ concern, until you remember that he canonically used a lot of cocaine. Where will his nose lead him this time? This Christmas short is fun and festive right from the outset, when a man is convicted of murder, sentenced to death, and swears violent revenge upon Sherlock Holmes. The convict has murdered his previous five wives, which is the kind of thing a brilliant detective like Sherlock notes is a bit of a pattern! The prisoner enacts a devilish plan for escape, ripped straight from a Hanna-Barbera cartoon: to have his current, not-yet-murdered wife bring him a Christmas pudding with a file hidden inside. Yeah, not really sure we need Holmes & Watson for this one, maybe bring in the B squad? Pack your pipe, break a string on your violin and get fully hounds-toothed with Mike, Kevin and Bill for Sherlock Holmes In the Case of the Christmas Pudding!
