very cute and funny

A great caricature, using marionettes, of Holmes (Herock SHolmes) along woth Watson and Anna May Wong (Anna Went Wrong). No words, but good music, Marionettes are very well made and manipulated. Only drawback may be the Chines stereotypes we find at the scene of the crime - an opium den. Otherwise, vary clever and enjoyable.
