People of Britain,
greetings from
the Third Reich.
This is the voice you
have learned to fear.
This is the
Voice of Terror.
Again, we bring
you disaster,
crushing humiliating
disaster.
It is folly to
stand against
the mighty wraith
of the Fuhrer.
Do you need more testimony
of his invincible might
to bring you
to your knees?
Very well.
Are you ready
Operative Number 7?
This is the
Voice of Terror.
The secret
airplane factory
somewhere in England.
Listen, screams of the
dying can still be heard.
This is the
Voice of Terror.
Are you there
people of Britain
shivering in your cellars?
Listen Operative 41.
The fuse is lighted.
Oil to fuel your Navy,
to feed your tanks,
there it goes up in smoke
by the millions
of gallons.
This is the
Voice of Terror.
Do you still believe
that there are
secrets unknown
to the Fuhrer?
Listen, tonight at 7:10
an important diplomat
boarded a train
at a little station
outside Liverpool.
Each split second
is accounted for.
The rails divide,
the train hurtles
through the air,
the diplomat will make
no report in London.
This is the
Voice of Terror.
Englishmen, do you
still await your doom
in your stupid,
stuffy little clubs?
It will come,
I promise you.
Operative 23,
the time is now.
We strike you
on the high seas
as well as on the land.
This is the
Voice of Terror.
Englishmen,
the Fuhrer strikes
you now as he pleases.
Water pours through
your greatest dams
smashing everything
before it,
even as our
invincible armies
roar toward their
objectives.
Despite the
effective work
done by the Intelligence
Inner Council,
Jailing fifth columnists
and saboteurs,
despite their efficiency
in coordinating
military strategy
based on information
of enemy movements,
they seem unable
to cope with
the Voice of Terror.
Already six military
catastrophes have occurred.
Unmitigated nerve
of the Press.
Now they're attacking us.
Blast the fellow
to kingdom come.
If only we could keep
this insidious
stuff off the air.
I'm not sure that
I agree with you.
What purpose
would that serve?
Well, the people wouldn't
have to listen to it.
I've been talking
to Crosbie,
the Radio Technician,
if we want him
jammed off the air
Crosbie can do it.
I've been working
along other lines.
I've asked Mr. Sherlock
Holmes to come here.
What, Sherlock Holmes?
This isn't a case for
a private detective.
It's a matter of state.
In this emergency we
should take advantage
of everyone's
peculiar gifts.
Mr. Holmes is the most
subtle and extraordinary
Private Investigator
of our time.
Are you intimating
that the
army and navy
intelligence
plus Scotland Yard
are not equal to the
occasion, Sir Evan?
I'm sure they're
equal to any occasion.
They've done a
marvelous job
of lining up
fifth columnists,
saboteurs, and
keeping us informed
of the enemy's movements.
But the Voice of Terror
seems to have
them stumped.
Sherlock Holmes may
have a new approach
that will solve
the problem.
What's happened
inside these walls
has always been secret.
We don't want any
outsiders here.
I'm positively and
irrevocably opposed
to calling in
Sherlock Holmes.
Perhaps you'll
change your mind.
I see nothing whatever
to make me do so.
Prentiss is right.
For ordinary criminal
investigation
Holmes is excellent
but not for this.
He's unorthodox
and theatrical.
I can tell you
all about him.
Gentlemen, perhaps I can
throw some light on
the subject myself.
Holmes, how are you?
So good of you to come.
