SHERMLOCK SHOMES AND THE HOUND OF THE BASKETBALLS

SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES (1939)

This one story of Sherlock Holmes has been adapted to film several times. The one closest to this MAD parody would have been the 1939 version, part of a regular series from Universal with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce.

The plot involves Henry, the last of the Baskervilles, consulting Holmes for a believed curse on the family. This version takes much artistic license.
