The Seven-Per-Cent Solution (1976)

In the shadowy underbelly of London, renowned detective Sherlock Holmes finds himself ensnared in a web of illusions, spun by his increasing dependence on a potent seven-percent cocaine solution. His steadfast companion, Dr. Watson, watches in grave concern as the drug's fantasies spur Holmes to perceive his brother Mycroft's former tutor, Professor Moriarty, as a formidable puppeteer controlling London's criminal world. Fearing for Holmes' life - as the detective's current rate of drug use threatens a grim demise within a year - Watson orchestrates an urgent intervention, reaching out to the pioneering psychologist, Dr. Sigmund Freud in Vienna. With a well-crafted pretext by Watson and Mycroft, the loyal trio, along with the dependable Toby, embark on a journey to Vienna, hoping to liberate Holmes from the clutches of his addiction. Under Freud's watchful care, Holmes bravely battles through the throes of withdrawal, a journey of redemption that is as painful as it is transformative. However, it is not until Holmes finds himself entangled in the mysterious case of Lola Deveraux - a fellow patient of Freud's grappling with her own cocaine addiction - that he truly begins to revive. When Deveraux gets kidnapped, Holmes' detective instincts awaken, setting him on a path to rescue her, thus reigniting his true purpose. In a final act of profound insight, Freud unravels the enigma of Holmes' character, entwining the threads of his subconscious to shed light on the man behind the detective. Unfolding amidst the backdrop of Victorian intrigue and psychological exploration, "The Seven-Per-Cent Solution" is a tale of friendship, redemption, and the struggles of a mind caught in the throes of addiction.
