As a dense yellow fog swirls through the streets of London, a deep melancholy
has descended on Sherlock Holmes, who sits in a cocaine-induced haze at 221B
Baker Street. His mood is only lifted by a visit from a beautiful but distressed
young woman - Mary Morstan, whose father vanished ten years before. Four years
later she began to receive an exquisite gift every year: a large, lustrous
pearl. Now she has had an intriguing invitation to meet her unknown benefactor
and urges Holmes and Watson to accompany her. And in the ensuing investigation -
which involves a wronged woman, a stolen hoard of Indian treasure, a
wooden-legged ruffian, a helpful dog and a love affair - even the jaded Holmes
is moved to exclaim, 'Isn't it gorgeous!'
