Ep. 57: Holmes Freak Murder Case Teil Eins: Das Drama des isolierten Gasthauses beginnt

57

Conan enters a Sherlock Holmes contest to win a first-edition book and persuades Rachel and Richard to attend. Betsy Iwai, an inn employee, drives contestants Nancy Schmidt, Moira Krupp, Ernie Bower, Burt Bledsoe, Alex Carr and Sheila Sands to the completely isolated cliff-side inn where they must take a 1,000-question quiz about Sherlock Holmes. Harley Hartwell attends as well hoping he would meet Jimmy there. Harry Kanucka, the host, goes over the rules, regulations, and itinerary. After two days of inactivity, an unresponsive Harry is seen driving his car off the cliff and into the ocean. Harry is believed to been murdered and Sheila reveals she knows who the murderer is. Later, a garage fire occurs and Sheila is killed; her charred remains are found in the backseat of the car. The evidence shows that she was also murdered. Some contestants suggest that the host Harry Kanucka might have faked his death but Conan and Harley reassure them that he is dead. While gathering the little evidence that they have, a blackout occurs and Ernie is stabbed in the back with an ice pick. The killer escapes out the window, but Conan and Harley believe that he is still there. (Source: Wikipedia)
