Real Estate Nightmare
While the integrity of the this story is here, one wonders why the writers took so many liberties with a pretty straightforward plot. The story involves the efforts of a very rich woman, who is moving up even more, to get her hands on a manuscript (sound familiar), that could compromise her standing. This time she is not the innocent victim of a bit of bad judgment and has the firepower to get what she wants. The Baker Street guys get involved when an elderly lady comes to them, telling of an amazing real estate opportunity. First, she is offered an excessive amount of money to sell her house. Then she is asked to sell the contents, but the kicker is that she can take nothing with her. Money seems to be no object but her suspicions are greatly aroused. Things get stickier when a series of threats are put forth by thugs who want Holmes and Watson to mind their own business. They have the goods on one of the henchmen (a black man whose race is treated much worse in the original story) and are able to parley it into some basic information. In the story, the old lady's son dies; in the dramatization it is her nephew. Somehow, he is at the center of all this and he is somehow embroiled in the plot. Actually a pretty decent episode although it is really far-fetched if you think too much about it.
