N.p.: N.p., 1945. Revised Draft script for the 1945 film, here under the working title "The Fugitive." With a single manuscript ink annotation on the front wrapper reading "92." All leaves watermarked CONTRACT FILE COPY.

The twelfth entry in the fourteen film Sherlock Holmes series featuring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, loosely based on Arthur Conan Doyle's 1911 short story "The Adventure of the Red Circle." The prime minister of the fictitious eastern European country Rovinia begs Holmes and Watson to escort Prince Nikolas back home, as the king has been assassinated and the prince must ascend to the throne. The transatlantic voyage proves to be a dangerous journey, and every passenger becomes a suspect, though Holmes carries more than a few tricks and surprises up his cape.

Set in Algiers.
