About

'At the start of The Spider Woman, London is being swept by a rash of mysterious deaths, nicknamed the "Pyjama Suicides," in which wealthy men are leaping from buildings or putting bullets in their heads without bothering to change out of their sleepwear. When word of the crimes reaches Holmes (on a fishing trip in Scotland), he doesn't for a minute consider them suicides. He suspects there is something more to the crimes: "something monstrous and horrible," he tells Watson (Nigel Bruce), "something that drives these poor fellows to their so-called suicides. And when you drive a man to suicide, that's murder."' TCM
