What is the motive in Red-Headed League?
I'm not certain if this was in the books, but in the "Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series", there was an episode titled, "The Case of the Red Headed League" (Aired 12/27/1954). The Red Headed League was a fabricated organization, with the purpose of getting the owner of a small shop (Jabez Wilson), out of his shop for several days. In the time of Wilson's departure, the 'leaders' of the Red Headed League would break into the shop everyday, without raising the suspicion of Wilson, and once inside the shop; would burrow a tunnel from the shop's cellar to the building next to the shop. The building next to the shop was the city bank. In short, the Red Headed League was fake group, that gave reason for Jabez Wilson to leave his shop everyday, so that the shop would be empty. This allows the Red Headed League time to secretly dig a tunnel into the bank next door and then rob the bank.
