Sherlock Saturday takes us back to 221 B Baker Street and the Granada Television’s faithful adaptations of the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Adapted from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s short story, the mystery involves the theft of a near-priceless gemstone, known as the Blue Carbuncle, which was stolen from the Countess of Morcar’s (Rosalind Knight) hotel room. The police arrest a known criminal seen at the hotel near the time of the robbery, however coming into the mystery by entirely different means (involving an abandoned goose and hat stumbled upon by Inspector Peterson during the owner’s run-in with ruffians), Holmes (Jeremy Brett) finds the missing gem literally dropped into his hands and spends the rest of the episode discovering how it ended up there.
