*In Stock-BrokerοΏ½s Clerk, the intrepid pair travel by train to Birmingham, and it is nostalgic to think that despite it being 1889, when Holmes and Watson alighted at New Street station they would have been greeted by cobbled streets, eighteenth-century houses and a town still largely undeveloped.*

β¦ Synopsis
Professor Moriarty commits a small fraud to expose a larger one.
A young stockbroker brings a dilemma to the Moriartys which can best be solved by a quiet substitution. Professor Moriarty will turn up for the new position at the dubious investment bank, while the stockbroker spends his days in Russell Square. Moriarty uncovers a dastardly scheme, but the stockbroker's wife, alarmed by her husband's altered behavior, hires Sherlock Holmes to investigate. The two rivals confront one another in the midst of a carefully planned caper.
