Synopsis
Sherlock Holmes is the greatest detective in the world. He sits in his room, and smokes his pipe. He listens, and watches, and thinks. He listens to the footsteps coming up the stairs; he watches the door opening - and he knows what question the stranger will ask. Three visitors come to see Holmes at his apartment on Baker Street - bringing their troubles to the only man in the world who can help them.
