- DirectorAdrien CaillardStarsGeorges TrévilleMr. Moyse
- DirectorAdrien CaillardStarsGeorges TrévilleMr. MoyseSilver Blaze was the favorite. And a beautiful piece of horseflesh she was. Colonel Ross was expecting a lot from this wonderful animal on Derby Day. And then came despair. Early in the morning the stable-boy is aroused from a deep sleep caused by a drug, to find Silver Blaze gone, and the jockey, Shraker, dead, with a crushed skull, in the open field nearby. Sherlock Holmes had first-hand information of this case since he was at the home of his old friend Ross, when the Colonel's beautiful horse disappeared. An investigation by the great detective gives him a sure clue to the whereabouts of the animal and he acts promptly. Colonel Ross insists that he must withdraw the favorite from the race program, but Holmes says, "No!" and his command is emphatic. Rather bewildered but trusting the wisdom of his old friend, Colonel Ross goes to the track on Derby Day, but is dismayed when he can find no trace of good old "Silver Blaze." But Holmes bids him wait and insists that his horse will come through a sure winner, despite his apparent mysterious absence. The race is finished and the winner comes to the Stables, and here to the nervous and astonished Colonel Ross, a little water and a soft cloth remove from the forehead of the winner a dark stain which had covered up the great blazing white mark which had given the beautiful animal the name of "Silver Blaze." Holmes' investigation had trailed the Derby favorite to the home of trainer Brown and he forced Brown to admit having the horse. The jockey, Shraker, had attempted to steal the animal and had drugged the stable boy, but he was thrown and kicked by the racer and so his villainous plans were suddenly halted. Brown found "Silver Blaze" in the open field and thought to make him unrecognizable by painting over the great white "blaze," but he had not calculated on the genius of Sherlock Holmes.
- DirectorGeorges TrévilleStarsGeorges TrévilleMr. MoyseA torn piece of cloth hanging on a nail proved the undoing of Moriarty.

The very valuable coronet having been left with Banker Holder as security for a loan, is stolen by a daring thief. The fiancée of Holder's beautiful daughter Mary rescues the coronet, after an exciting encounter with the thieves, only to be accused of the theft of two jewels broken from if in the struggle, when it is discovered in his possession by Holder and his family, who were aroused by the commotion. Mary never doubts her sweetheart, however, and with the assistance of the great detective, the real culprits are brought to justice. Starting with a piece of torn cloth as his only clue. Holmes rapidly works out in his own peculiar manner, the solution of the mystery.

The maid and the butler planned and carried out a daring robbery in which they secured a mysterious ritual which told of a hidden treasure and gave directions for the finding of the money and jewels. Following the directions, the butler and the maid locate the hidden fortune, but coming suddenly in possession of such enormous riches, turned the head of this daring woman. The decision was reached in an instant, "I will have it all," and just as the butler handed out the treasure laden box, she allowed the heavy flag stone to crash down upon him. Imprisoning him in this death trap where the treasure had lain for years. When he arrived on the scene. Holmes wanted a clue.

Turner again bribes McCarthy with money, but Jack has witnessed the bribery and he demands an explanation from his father, which is refused and an argument ensues. Two farm hands hear the argument.
