Young Sherlock Holmes

Aided by the friendly narration of a youthful John Watson on his arrival at Boarding School, we come to meet a sixteen-year old Sherlock Holmes (NICHOLAS ROWE).

When his friend, the eccentric Professor Waxflatter dies in mysterious circumstances, Holmes, known for his deductive ability, suspects foul play. Expelled from his Boarding School on a false charge of cheating, Holmes is not supported by his hypnotic Role Model and Fencing Master 'Rathe' (ANTHONY HIGGINS).

Sneaking into Waxflatter's Study on campus, Holmes secretly begins to investigate the case. When he discovers a plot to murder a series of British Gentlemen (Waxflatter included) by an Egyptian cult, he moves to stop it.

The Game is Afoot.

Although easily comparable to Arabia rather than London, Holmes, his girlfriend Elizabeth (SOPHIE WARD) and Watson (ALAN COX) prowl the dank streets of the 'dangerous' Wapping area looking for clues related to the 'Rame Tep' organization. Armed only with a blowpipe recovered from the scene of the crime, they stumble upon the Temple Pyramid of the hideous cult. They are chased and hit by blowpipes, causing terrific hallucinations. The highlight of the movie occurs here as Watson is assaulted by a variety of naughty but nice animated cream cakes.

Piecing together clues like 'Eh Tar' - Waxflatter's final words, Holmes begins to suspect his former mentor Rathe! Elizabeth is in danger, the 'Rame Tep' need another young girl for sacrifice and his only option is to bring down the Temple like a pack of cards.
