The Voice of Terror is a 1942 film starring Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson. It is the third in the Rathbone - Holmes series.

Detailed Synopsis:

Holmes is called into the "Inner Council" of British Intelligence by a man named Sir Evan Barham. He wants Holmes to try and stop Nazi operating in Britain. The Nazi's actions were broadcasted on the radio as The Voice of Terror.

Holmes investigates by following the trail from Limehouse to a bombed-out church near the south coast. While he is there, he finds out the true identity of "The Voice of Terror." The Barham that called Holmes on the case was an imposter.

The way Holmes finds this out, was that the real Barham carried a scar from childhood. The scar the imposter had was only twenty years old.

Holmes deduces that in World War I, the real Barham was taken out and shot. The gentleman who called Holmes into the case was a man named Von Bork who was posing as Barham for 24 whole years.
