The Woman in Green Sherlock Holmes Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce

When several women are murdered and their forefingers severed, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are called into action by Inspector Gregson, but Holmes is baffled by the crimes at the start. Widower Sir George Fenwick, after a romantic night at the apartment of Lydia Marlowe, is hypnotized into believing that he is responsible for the crimes. He is certain that he is guilty after he awakes from a stupor and finds a woman's forefinger in his pocket. His daughter comes to Holmes and Watson without realizing that Moriarty's henchman is following her. She tells Holmes and Watson that she saw her father burying something in their garden. Later, she dug up a box containing a forefinger and shows it to them.
