Ep 21. The 'Gloria Scott'

"THE 'GLORIA SCOTT' " (WOODY CREEK) INSPIRED BY SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE Holmes' old friend, Victor Trevor, arrives at Baker Street with an urgent - but nonsensical -note his father left him before vanishing. Holmes quickly deduces that the note is in code and deciphers it to read "Gloria Scott". But who is she and what is her role in the affair? While Lestrade and Watson look into a recent prison break, Holmes investigates and finds that their cases are connected, involving a convict breakout on a prison shuttle that occurred 25 years before in which Victor's father - a wrongly accused criminal - was forced to take part. Now, the mastermind behind that disastrous plot has broken out of prison, again, and is blackmailing Victor's father. It is up to Holmes to stop this man and put him back behind bars. Educational Message: Look at the facts, posit a theory, then look for further evidence to test the theory. Also, it's always better to tell the truth than to try to avoid consequences by means of a lie.
