Sherlock Holmes is approached by Dr. Mortimer to assist in protecting the
life of his best friend's nephew who is that very day returning to England
from Canada. Mortimer's friend, Sir Charles Baskerville, recently died and
although the coroner ruled it to be a natural death, the Doctor knows he
was being chased by a legendary dog, the Hound of the Baskervilles, that
has plagued the Baskerville family for years. Sir Henry Baskerville is Sir
Charles' heir and Mortimer is convinced that he will not last long living
on moors at Baskerville Hall. Already Sir Henry is facing odd happenings
when a single boot is stolen at his hotel. Holmes dispatches his good
friend Dr. Watson to accompany the young man to the family estate while he
attends to other matters in London. Once there, Sir Henry meets the lovely
Beryl Stapleton and her brother John. The servants are acting strangely
and when Watson catches one of them signaling to someone on the moor, he
thinks he knows who might be involved. Holmes, who has been masquerading
as a tramp, has his own ideas however and the solution to the mystery
lies in the Baskerville family history.
