An unusual injury reveals a sinister secret in The Problem of the Superfluous Finger. What begins with a doctor's concern ends with a revelation no one could have predicted.


“No surgeon would have made such a clean job—unless he were hiding something far worse.” – The Specialist


A woman enters a medical office claiming to need help with her finger—yet something about her story feels off. As the mystery deepens, questions of identity, control, and concealed torment emerge. Jacques Futrelle’s master detective, The Thinking Machine, returns in this eerie and cerebral tale of logic versus illusion. With lives at stake and one clue too many, only pure reasoning can bring the truth to light. What does it mean when the evidence points to something that shouldn't exist?


This episode explores the uncanny, blending medical mystery with classic detection in one of the most memorable puzzles of The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes.


Written and created by Jacques Futrelle.
