Sherlock Holmes takes on a case that the press has dubbed the pajama suicides. Eminent men are going to bed in the safety of their own homes, with everything seemingly being normal, only to commit suicide in the night. Holmes fakes his own death in the hopes of giving him a freer hand in the investigation and is convinced that a woman, a female Moriarty as he describes her, is behind the deaths. The dead men were all eminent and very wealthy. He impersonates a wealthy retired Indian military officer in the hope of drawing out the woman and he soon meets Adrea Spedding but she quickly sees through his disguise and proves herself to be the challenge Holmes predicted she would be. She is a worthy adversary and soon traps him setting him up in a carnival shooting gallery that seems to assure his death.

An IMDb Review: Holmes in modern day:
When Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson moved from 20th Century Fox to Universal, they left the Victorian era and entered wartime Europe. This film, "The Spider Woman," is based on the Conan Doyle story "The Speckled Band." Holmes fakes his death in order to investigate some diabolical murders that appear to look like suicides, hoping to force the criminals out into the open. He disguises himself as a Mr. Singh and appears at a gambling club, where all of the victims had played. There he meets his adversary (Gale Sondergaard) and, as he tells Watson, "the game's afoot."

This is an excellent entry into the series. The big finale takes place at a carnival shooting game where the targets are Mussolini, Lenin and Hitler, so the writers got their propaganda in. Rathbone is a great Holmes, and the character of Watson as essayed by Bruce comes off quite well. The way the part was written in the serial often made Watson seem like a buffoon, and Holmes was at times unattractively condescending to him. That seems absent here.
