About

The world's greatest detective is back -- and this time, he's fighting crime in the brave new world of the 22nd Century! Thanks to Inspector Beth Lestrade of New Scotland Yard, Sherlock Holmes is brought back from the dead. His body is rejuvenated to that of a 25 year-old to help Lestrade battle an unprecedented crime wave wreaking havoc on this peaceful future. To assist Holmes, the personality of his loyal friend and companion, Dr. John Watson, is programmed into the brain of an android. They quickly lock wits once again with the consummate criminal: Professor James Moriarty, the only adversary Holmes ever considered an equal. Like Holmes, he's been brought back to life by 22nd Century technology. Unlike Holmes, Moriarty is determined to dominate the crime-free world of the future.

1. The Fall And Rise Of Sherlock Holmes

30m

In the 22nd Century, Inspector Beth Lestrade believes that New London's fool-proof crime control process, called crypnosis, has been sabotaged by the criminal genius Professor James Moriarty…who has been dead for over a century! To prove her theory and catch the crook, Lestrade brings back to life the only man smart enough to have ever defeated Moriarty: Sherlock Holmes. Holmes tracks the villain, finally confronting him in the heart of the computer itself! Though the system gets back online, Moriarty manages to elude them. For now.

2. The Crime Machine

30m

When New London is caught in the grip of a massive crime wave, Holmes uses his eyes and intellect to deduce that the heat of the criminal activity lies in the city's long abandoned underground. With the guidance of the street-wise Baker Street Irregulars, Holmes, Watson and Lestrade plunge into the shadowy depths to foil the plot, but lose Watson when their wild escape ends with a train crash into the Thames. Only then does Holmes realize that the robot is becoming a true friend.

3. The Hounds Of The Baskervilles

30m

On the moon, in the domed Galileo City, an old legend appears to be true when three children go missing and eerie howling can be heard echoing throughout the resort. But Sherlock Holmes suspects there is an all too human reason behind this supernatural phenomenon. His sleuthing quickly dispatches the mythical beast for what it is: trickery created by Moriarty to vacate the moon of its tourists so that its powerful defense and life support systems would be his from which to rule the earth. Though Moriarty escapes, Holmes and Lestrade cleverly foil the evil plot and save the day, the moon, and the earth!
