Plot
An ingenious inmate of a state prison has cleverly hidden several engraving plates stolen from the Bank of England in a series of music boxes, setting the authorities and several crooks on their trail. Feeling Britain's financial well being severely jeopardized, Scotland Yard calls on the services of Sherlock Holmes and his trusty right-hand man, Watson, to help solve the case. With unexpected twits and multiple thrills, Dressed to Kill is a delightful mystery to cap off the Holmes/Watson film series.
