Four Episodes on every DVD! When TV's Greatest Detectives become involved, even the most puzzling mystery is child's play! From the brilliant Sherlock Holmes to the stoic Sgt. Preston, to the fun-loving Mr. & Mrs. North and the enigmatic agent of Dangerous Assignment, these are the fiercely determined minds that seek only to protect us from the dark deeds of the criminal world. This mesmerizing compilation illustrates why, when these men are on the case, felons and their compatriots don't stand a chance.

Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes - Pennsylvania Gun - 1954 - 26 minutes - Black & White - Season 1 - Episode 3 - Ronald Howard gives us a younger, more active and affable Holmes, while character actor H. Marion Crawford plays an intelligent and formidable Dr. Watson. In this episode the murder of nobleman John Douglas brings Holmes and Watson to the British countryside, where Detective Macleod of Scotland Yard seems to believe he has the case well in hand. With the victim's castle surrounded by a forty foot moat and the drawbridge up at the time of the murder, the list of suspects should number only those who were in the castle at the time of death. Holmes has brought his fishing tackle, though, and is convinced there's an altogether different explanation.

Mr. & Mrs. North - Comic Strip Tease - 1952 - 26 minutes - Color - Season 1 - Episode 10 - Mr. and Mrs. North was based on a wartime film starring Gracie Allen as a British housewife who solves crimes with her mystery-writer husband and the local police—but always seems to be one step ahead of them both. The North's enlist the aid of a cartoonist to help crack a gang of teenage criminals who are terrorizing neighbors.

Sgt. Preston Of The Yukon - Black Ace - 1957 - 26 minutes - Color - Season 2 - Episode 17 - Sergeant Preston of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police astride his horse Rex and accompanied by his dog "Yukon King" enforces law and order in Alaska at the turn of the century. In this episode a young trapper is suspected of the murder of his brother because of very strong, yet circumstantial evidence. Every show concluded.... to the dog: Well King, looks like this case is closed!

Dangerous Assignment - The Memory Chain - 1952 - 26 minutes - Black & White - Season 1 - Episode 3 - U.S. Special Agent Steve Mitchell is sent to exotic locales where he encounters adventure and intrigue and gets involved in situations that have the potential of shifting the balance of world power overnight. Mitchell is a no-nonsense guy who gets the job done, and has a free reign to do so. This is real James Bond type action!
