Sherlock Holmes ( TV 1955) THE TYRANTS DAUGHTER ( S1 E39)

Hailed as the most faithfully filmed adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle s legendary characters. This acclaimed series stars Ronald Howard as the worldfamous sleuth and H. Marion Crawford in a different portrayal of Dr. Watson than usual. THE CASE OF THE TYRANT S DAUGHTER: Coldhearted Mr. Harringway is so opposed to his stepdaughter marrying Tom Vernon that he offers the young man money to go away. When Harrington is found dead from strychnine poisoning, Lestrade locks up Tom, a chemist, charging him with murder. The Harringway s housekeeper comes to Holmes for help, convinced that Tom could never do such a thing, despite the evidence otherwise.
