Synopsis for The Adventure of the Three Madmen[]
February 1916: During WWI, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson are on a mission to capture the nefarious Von Bork and his weapon of dread. Aviators Wentworth and Colonel Kentov are assigned to aide the two detectives by flying them to Marseilles to receive further instructions. Later, the mystery-solvers are captured by their foe, who takes them onto his airship. After hitting a storm, the vessel begins to crash. The two prisoners leap to safety only to become lost in the African jungle. There, they encounter a noble savage, Sir Mowgli of the Seeone, rescue "the Beautiful One" and thwart their Nazi nemesis.
