The Adventure of the Speckled Band

The Adventure of the Speckled Band (1949) is a mystery, crime film directed by Sobey Martin.

Sherlock Holmes gets the clues he needs to solve a murder, and to prevent another one from occurring, when he finds out that a doctor owns a poisonous snake--the deadly swamp adder.
