But when a man comes to 221B Baker Street insisting that a ghostly hell hound is killing off the cursed members of the Baskerville family - and that the new young lord of the manor may be next - Holmes' attention is captured and he agrees to take on the case. With the faithful Dr. Watson at his side, Holmes sets off into the misty moors to face one of his most thrilling cases.
