Without a Clue is a 1988 comedy film starring Michael Caine and Ben Kingsley.

Plot

The film's premise is that Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character created by Dr. John Watson to enable him to solve crimes behind the scenes. When the public expects to see Holmes, he hires an alcoholic actor Reginald Kincaid (Michael Caine) to play him. But when "Holmes" begins hogging the spotlight, a jealous Watson fires him, only to have to call him back when the British Government wants Holmes and no one else to solve a mystery involving stolen printing plates and a missing printing supervisor, Peter Giles. Inspector Lestrade (Jeffrey Jones) is jealous of Holmes' apparent sleuthing skills, and takes every opportunity to spy on Holmes and Watson and to steal their ideas. Just when Watson and "Holmes" discover that Professor Moriarty is the mastermind behind the scheme, Watson goes missing, forcing "Holmes" to solve the case on his own.
