It is the morning after the day before a gargantuan win on the
horses for Holmes and Watson and the celebrations have gone on
through the night. They are dreadfully hung-over but Watson's
friend, Archie, is so ill that he destroys the day's paper with a
technicolour yawn, which is a shame because it reported a mystery
in Croydon that Holmes is keen to investigate. Inspector Lestrade
is on the case. He shows Holmes a parcel sent to demure middle-aged
spinster, Miss Cushing that contains two human ears cut off with a
rusty knife! Despite her apparent anonymity the great detective
soon works out that Miss Cushing has a chequered past and her
immediate family must be involved in this grim affair. Holmes
tracks down the villain and solves the mystery in the basement of
Scotland Yard where Colonel Sebastian Moran, one of Professor
Moriarty's most dangerous henchmen, occupies one of the cells and
is introduced to Doctor Watson for the first time. Chuffed and
satisfied, on their way back to Baker Street Holmes and Watson drop
in on their bookmaker to collect their winnings, but they are in
for a nasty surprise.
