Pursuit to Algiers

In this 1945 adventure-romance-mystery, Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce reprise their roles as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in a thrilling tale of espionage, assassination, and deception aboard an ocean liner bound for Algiers. As they escort the heir to the throne through Europe, they uncover a web of suspicious characters with motives to kill - but it's not until an unscheduled stop at Lisbon that they face off against a cunning ring of assassins led by knife-thrower Mirko.
