Sherlock Holmes is sitting at 221B Baker Street in a daze brought on by cocaine, and a profound sorrow has settled over him as a thick yellow fog whirls across the streets of London. The visit from Mary Morstan, a stunning but troubled young lady whose father disappeared 10 years earlier, is the only thing that improves his attitude. After four years, she started getting a beautiful present every year: a big, glossy pearl. She is now urging Holmes and Watson to go with her after receiving an enticing invitation to see her unidentified benefactor. And even the hardened Holmes is compelled to remark, "Isn't it gorgeous?" throughout the course of the subsequent inquiry, which also includes a mistreated lady, a stolen wealth of Indian treasure, a ruffian with wooden legs, a helping dog, and a romantic relationship.
