A taut, easy-to-stage version of the classic thriller, perhaps the most famous and popular of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries. As the action begins, Sir Charles Baskerville has died under mysterious circumstances, and his nephew and heir, the young Sir Henry, has been threatened even before his arrival at Baskerville Hall. Enlisting the aid of Sherlock Holmes he sets out for his ancestral home on the Devon Moor in the company of Dr Watson, a journey which brings him to danger, mystery and a series of events which build steadily in menace and suspense. Hard pressed to protect his charge, and to fathom the strange mishaps which beset him, Dr Watson is much relieved when Holmes himself appears - to trap the diabolic killer who stalks Sir Henry, and to unravel the fascinating mystery which accounts for his evil actions.
