The adventures of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, with Inspector Lestrade, battling criminals in London.

Millicent Channing comes to consult Sherlock Holmes because her fiancé John has disappeared. He has been absorbed in his historical study, believing that he has made an important discovery; he was planning to see Sir Thomas Greystone. She went to Greystone Castle where she was received coldly and was told that they had never seen John. Holmes proceeds to John's flat to look at his research papers. 

The Case of the Greystone Inscription is the 16th episode of the 1954-1955 TV series Sherlock Holmes starring Ronald Howard as Sherlock Holmes and Howard Marion-Crawford as Dr. Watson. 

The story is somewhat like "The Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual" with some inventive details, the plot being quite faithful to the original story. At the beginning, Watson is bad-tempered and there is a very humorous scene.
