Lelíček In Sherlock Holmes' Service - 1932 - 6/10
AKA - Lelíček ve Službách Sherlocka Holmese
The great detective agrees to find a double for an endangered monarch.
The king of Puerto Rico.
He finds a suitable candidate in Prague, persuades him, and they catch the train to Puerto Rico.
Bear with me.
Turns out the king, an anxious milquetoast, has reasons to be concerned with assassination.
Anarchists are easy to recognize as their garb is a cross between pirate and gypsy and Zorro.
Once the pair reach Puerto Rico, the kingdom is recognized instantly.
This is not the Caribbean, this is Freedonia!
There is no Zeppo, but there are songs in this creaky comic gem from Czechoslovakia.
The double is a handful for Holmes, though the love starved queen knows a thing about scepters.
Note: English subs can be difficult to locate for this. The one set I found had some issues.
I fixed timestamps, clarified dialogue, and a few other tweaks.
