Suppose for a moment that Dr. Watson was the real brains behind Sherlock Holmes? The result is anything but elementary! Dr. John Watson is secretly a crime-solving genius. But to protect his reputation as a physician, he hires bumbling, boozy, out-of-work actor Reginald Kincaid to play the part of his fictional creation, Sherlock Holmes. The charade works until Watson mysteriously disappears, forcing the baffled, seriously inept "Holmes" to crack the biggest case of Watson's career on his own!
