In the second surviving Sherlock Holmes film (affiliate link) starring Arthur Wontner as Sherlock Holmes, двое злачынцаў збеглі з турмы. Яны шукаюць, каб адпомсціць на мужчын, якія двойчы перасёк адну з злачынцаў, Джонатан Смолс. Смолс сказаў два з наглядчыкаў з турмы, дзе вялікая стан быў схаваных. The wardens find the treasure, have a falling out and one kills the other. The survivor of the plot, Major John Sholto, forgets about Smalls as he sets himself up in an estate with the money from the treasure.

Twenty years later, Jonathan Smalls and a confederate escape prison. Smalls seeks out Sholto, who has a heart attack and dies. Аднак, Smalls still wants the treasure.

The Sign of Four: Шэрлак Холмс’ Найвялікшы Справа (1932) is actually the third Sherlock Holmes film starring Arthur Wontner. The Case of the Missing Rembrandt (1932) is considered a lost film. Arthur Wontner’s interpretation of Sherlock Holmes was closest to the character created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The Sign of Four was released on August 14, 1932.

Graham Soutten plays the one-legged criminal Jonathan Smalls. Soutten, who did have only one leg, added an interesting flourish to his character. He kicks his confederate with his wooden leg to put him back in his place. Smalls’ disability did not impede him. His dexterity with his wooden limb made him even more formidable.

Graham Soutten was born on August 7, 1891 у Лондане, England. I could not confirm whether Graham Soutten was born with one leg or if it was the result of an accident or a World War I injury. Soutten made a few films. He died in London in 1969 ў 77 гадоў.

The Sign of Four runs approximately 72 хвілін. It was a feature film originally released in England.
