Listen to "The Adventure of the Six Napoleons" from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic collection, "The Return of Sherlock Holmes"[cite: 22]. ▶ Listen to the Complete Playlist:    • Sherlock Holmes: The Return of Sherlock Ho...   In this famous and baffling mystery, Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard brings Sherlock Holmes a seemingly absurd series of burglaries: someone is systematically breaking into London homes and shops solely to smash identical plaster busts of Napoleon Bonaparte[cite: 22]. What initially appears to be a bizarre case of political fanaticism or monomania turns deadly when a man is found with his throat cut outside a journalist’s home in Kensington, with another shattered bust nearby[cite: 22]. Following the trail of the plaster casts back to their manufacturer in Stepney, Holmes uncovers the identity of the elusive Italian craftsman Beppo[cite: 22]. Disregarding Lestrade’s theory of a Mafia feud, Holmes lays a midnight ambush in Chiswick and tracks down the final unbroken bust to solve the disappearance of a priceless international treasure: the famed Black Pearl of the Borgias[cite: 22]. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ TIMESTAMPS: • 00:00 - The Adventure of the Six Napoleons[cite: 22] • 01:15 - Lestrade’s Bizarre Case: Smashed Busts of Napoleon[cite: 22] • 03:00 - Dr. Barnicot’s Vandalized Statues[cite: 22] • 05:15 - A Murder at Pitt Street: Horace Harker’s Tragedy[cite: 22] • 07:30 - The Pocket Contents: A Photograph & A Knife[cite: 22] • 09:30 - Examining the Broken Plaster under the Street Lamp[cite: 22] • 11:45 - Tracing the Casts to Gelder & Co. in Stepney[cite: 22] • 14:00 - Beppo the Sculptor & The Six Napoleon Busts[cite: 22] • 16:15 - Lestrade’s Mafia Theory vs. Holmes’s Deduction[cite: 22] • 18:30 - Midnight Ambush at Laburnum Villa, Chiswick[cite: 22] • 21:00 - The Capture of Beppo[cite: 22] • 23:15 - Mr. Sandeford of Reading & The Sixth Bust[cite: 22] • 25:30 - Shattering the Plaster: The Black Pearl of the Borgias[cite: 22] • 27:45 - Holmes Explains the Crime & Lestrade's Tribute[cite: 22] (Note: Adjust timestamps slightly if your final video cut differs.) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ABOUT THE STORY: First published in 1904, "The Adventure of the Six Napoleons" is widely celebrated as one of Arthur Conan Doyle's finest detective stories[cite: 22].
