1001 Sherlock Holmes Stories & The Best of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

"The Terrifying Cats" and "The Submarine Caves" are episodes of the radio series The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, which originally starred Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson. These episodes often featured original scripts by Anthony Boucher and Denis Green rather than direct adaptations of Arthur Conan Doyle's stories. 
The Terrifying Cats
Original Air Date: February 25, 1946 
In this episode, Holmes is approached by an American opera singer who has a paralyzing, deadly fear of cats. The case evolves into a murder investigation when the singer is accused of a crime in Rome. Holmes and Watson must travel to Italy to exonerate the singer and uncover the truth behind the sinister forces at play. 
Key Plot Points:
The client suffers from an intense phobia of felines.
Holmes and Watson journey to Rome to solve the mystery.
The investigation involves exonerating the opera singer of a murder charge. 
The Submarine Caves
Original Air Date: March 4, 1946 
Set in the summer of 1896, Holmes and Watson travel to the Island of Garth (referred to in some records as the Island of G), a small, independent territory in the English Channel. Their official, public reason for visiting is a bizarre diplomatic tradition: accepting an annual ceremonial pound of butter on behalf of the British Crown. 
The Hidden Threat: The island contains a massive interior cavern accessible only through underwater channels. This makes it a strategically vital natural harbor and dry dock for a submarine fleet.
The Mystery: Upon arrival, they discover the island's ruler, Martha Horn (known as Mother Horn), has died suddenly. Holmes suspects poisoning due to a "silly grin" on her face.
The Conflict: Holmes must contend with the island's housekeeper, Mrs. Reeves, who exerts a suspicious amount of control over the new heir, Christopher Horn.
The Resolution: Holmes uncovers a German-linked espionage plot involving Dr. Oberwald and Mrs. Reeves. They intended to use the island as a secret submarine base, threatening the security of the British Isles.

Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce take us on another great Sherlock Holmes Adventure sponsored by Petri Wines. "The Great Gandolfo" is an episode of The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes radio series, which aired on October 22, 1945, starring Basil Rathbone as Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson. It was written by Anthony Boucher and Denis Green, and while not an original Arthur Conan Doyle story, it was inspired by "The Adventure of the Second Stain" (1904). 
Summary:
The Setup: The episode, sponsored by Petri Wine, begins with Dr. Watson sharing a tale of a case involving a "great" figure, though not in the way one might expect.
The Case: Holmes and Watson are involved in a mystery centered on a character named "The Great Gandolfo".
Plotline: The narrative involves a tense situation revolving around a missing item, drawing thematic inspiration from "The Adventure of the Second Stain," where a missing document threatens national security. The plot, characteristic of the series, is fast-paced, involving wit and, at times, more humorous elements than the original canon.
Context: The show was a popular wartime radio drama, featuring the classic duo of a high-strung Holmes and a genial Watson, with original narrations and commercials. 
The episode is part of the 6th season of the series' run on the Mutual Network.
