Sherlock Holmes is awakened in modern times with a tale that he had invented a method of suspended animation that he had utilized on himself.

His battles lead him to the evil Moriarty clan led by James Moriarty Booth.

When I first watched this on TV back in the 90's thought it was a great movie. But watching it again, thought it wasn't that funny. Guess times change! It was a fun idea, but the lines were pretty bad guess it was just a lovely idea. Good story though so well done on that. I really enjoyed the character development, they made Sherlock Holmes a real person with feelings and emotions.
