Russell Partridge announces to his wife Janet one day that he is in fact a killer who has murdered his six previous wives, and notifies her that she has one day to live and get her affairs in order before he murders her, too. Janet can get no one to believe her tale, except Holmes and Watson, who must devise a plan to trap the killer before Janet's time runs out.
He announces to her after a party that he has killed seven other women and she is going to be the eighth. He even announces when he will kill her. Unfortunately, her pleas are seen as female hysterics (it's another time). Also, the man is an art collector of great repute and he is admired everywhere. He sets her up so that no one will believe her story; no one, that is, except Sherlock Holmes. His keen insights make him suspicious and although he screws up a couple times, he maintains his relentless bloodhound mentality.
