The Adventure of the Disappearing Divan (1990) Online

Sherlock Holmes, his son, Steel Rod Holmes, and Dr. John H. Watson investigate the disappearance of an antique divan, believed to be part of a drug-smuggling ring led by the nefarious "Barbecue," a man who had burned his parents alive during childhood. Sex, drugs and murder all play a part in this adventure, which is highlighted by the over-the-top performance of Todd Jacobsen as the insanely eccentric Inspector Grayson.

While wearing the costume for Dr. Watson, which included a full-head latex mask, a 100% wool overcoat and thick winter gloves, while shooting interior scenes, Todd Jacobsen nearly passed out from overheating. And he still had three other characters to play in the film.

Beginning in February 1977, Scott Allen Nollen and Todd "Dane" Jacobsen began making a long-running series of audio plays in which Sherlock Holmes has a son, with the bizarre name of Steel Rod Holmes, who takes part in the investigations of his father and Dr. John H. Watson. Nollen and Jacobsen often played up to 10 characters each in these totally improvised productions. "The Adventure of the Disappearing Divan" is the only surviving visual production involving these characters. (Others recorded on early video formats have not survived.)
