7/10

Gale Sondergaard joins the team for this hour long thriller with Holmes and Watson called in to solve the mystery of the "pyjama suicides". Wealthy, clean-cut, members of society each appear to go bonkers and kill themselves with no apparent rationale. This is a fun little story with some quirkier elements to liven up the investigation - big spiders etc. and the shorter, more compact, duration certainly helps keep it tight.
