  "The Blue Carbuncle": Der blaue Karfunkel - ein berühmter Diamant von unschätzbarem Wert - findet sich seltsamerweise im Kropf einer Weihnachtsgans wieder. Doch wie gelangte er aus der Schmuckschatulle der Gräfin Morcar dorthin? Keine einfache Aufgabe für den berühmtesten Detektiv aller Zeiten, zumal sich einige der von ihm befragten Personen nicht als besonders auskunftsfreudig erweisen ... "The speckled Band":Eine junge Frau trifft eines Morgens völlig verstört und verängstigt bei Sherlock Holmes ein. Sie erzählt, dass ihre Schwester vor 2 Jahren auf mysteriöse Art gestorben ist. Nun scheint der Frau selbst das gleiche Schicksal zu drohen... Die Geschichte - übrigens eine von Doyle's persönlichen Lieblingsgeschichten - entwickelt sich zu einem besonders verzwickten Fall. Allerdings wäre Holmes nicht Holmes, wenn es ihm am Ende nicht einmal mehr gelingen würde, durch genaue Beobachtung und den ihm eigenen außergewöhnlichen Kombinationsvermögen, die Geschichte aufzuklären. Die vielfach ausgezeichnete New Yorker Künstlergruppe Quicksilver Radio Theater setzt hier gekonnt alle Mittel des radioplays ein, um anhaltende Spannung und gute Unterhaltung zu erzielen. Doyles Kultfigur Holmes und sein Begleiter Dr. Watson treten durch diese Adaption wieder einmal grandios in Erscheinung - lebendiger denn je.
