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!'
