| Holmes on Stage: Sherlock Holmes and the Devil's Tallyman |
| It is 1905, and society chatters, its interest occupied by a fantastic new machine for a new age; the McAllister Computational Engine, the brain without a soul - The Devil's Tallyman. It is the ultimate machine, an artificial intellect, a mechanical brain whose gears and flywheels can shatter any code, it has been stolen and its Creator brutally slaughtered. The great detective Sherlock Holmes has seemingly returned from his recent retirement, but what is the strange secret occupying his attention, and can his long-time companion Dr. John Watson and his one-time opponent Irene Norton solve the crime without him? Sherlock Holmes returns in his most shocking and incredible adventure ever! |
