Synopsis
Sherlock Holmes Baffled is an American silent trick film created in 1900 with cinematography by Arthur Marvin. It is the earliest known film to feature Arthur Conan Doyle's detective character Sherlock Holmes, albeit in a form unlike that of later screen incarnations. In the film, a thief who can appear and disappear at will steals a sack of items from Sherlock Holmes. At each point, Holmes' attempts to thwart the intruder end in failure.

A woman thief who disapparates and reappears and leaves again - leaves Holmes baffled - well, wouldn't you be? Hard to understand why this was made at all, except to test equipment and special effects.
