Handlung[]
With Holmes, a victim of depression, sent off to stay with Reginald Musgrave, Watson is alone at Baker Street when Lady Fairfax arrives. She tells Watson that her husband, Sir Harry's life is in danger from a poacher named Black Ralph. Watson suggests she consult Lestrade or one of Holmes' rival investigators, but she persuades him to investigate for her. He travels to Darkwater Hall where he meets Sir Harry's twenty-minute-younger twin brother, Miles, and Captain Bradshaw who is clearly in love with Lady Emily. Black Jack is seen at the window, and a rifle discovered missing from the armoury. The following day, Sir Harry is shot at during a shooting party. Watson brings the investigation to its conclusion.
