Synopsis
Consulting detective Sherlock Holmes and his partner John Watson investigate a murder that appears to have been committed by a ghost. Centuries ago, Hugo Baskerville was killed by a vicious hell-hound, and now Sir Henry Baskerville has been found dead, seemingly killed by the same legendary hound. Can Holmes and Watson stop the next Baskerville heir from suffering the same fate?
