The Hound of the Baskervilles

Sherlock Holmes and his best friend and assistant Watson receive a doctor named James
Mortimer who tells them a story of a hound that haunts the moors of Devonshire and kills the
heirs of Baskerville Manor. The last victim was Sir Charles Baskerville. One night, he was found
dead on his estate’s pathway alongside the moor, his face locked in a rictus of terror.

Sir Charles’s nephew, Sir Henry Baskerville, arrives in London from Canada on his way to claim
the estate. He receives a note warning him to stay away from Baskerville Hall; also one of his
boots disappear. Holmes discovers that Sir Henry is being followed. Watson and Holmes saw a
bearded man in a carriage who hurries away, and they lose track of him

Watson travels with Sir Henry and Dr. Mortimer to Baskerville Hall. The mansion is a gloomy
place. Watson meets Stapleton, a naturalist who lives in a house on the moor with his
beautiful sister Beryl, who warns Watson that Sir Henry must leave at once or risk being killed.

Barrymore, the butler, has a wife who cries late at night. Watson and Sir Henry catch
Barrymore waving a candle at a window while an answering light glimmers on the moor. He is
signaling to Selden, an murderer who is Mrs. Barrymore’s brother; the Barrymores are sending
him food. Sir Henry and Watson search for Selden, but he escapes them.

Barrymore convinces Sir Henry to give Selden time to leave the country. In gratitude, the
butler tells about a letter to Sir Charles that Mrs. Barrymore found in the late baronet’s
fireplace. It is from a woman with the initials LL who told Sir Charles to meet her on the night
he died. Watson learns that LL is Laura Lyons, daughter of Mr. Frankland, a resident of a
nearby village. Watson interviews Lyons and learns that she planned to beg Sir Charles for
money to initiate a divorce against her estranged, cruel husband, but that same day another
part paid the costs, and she didn’t go to her meeting with Sir Charles.

Watson notices another person standing on a moorland hilltop, It is Holmes, who’s been
keeping tabs on events from an ancient stone hut near the summit.

Holmes visits Baskerville Hall, where he recognizes, among the ancestral portraits on its walls,
a strong resemblance between Hugo Baskerville, the first family member to be killed by a giant
hound, and Stapleton. Having now solved the mystery, Holmes tells Sir Henry to accept
Stapleton’s dinner invitation

After the dinner, as Sir Henry walks home, a huge dog with glowing eyes and muzzle attacks
him, but Holmes shoots it before it can kill. The dog’s glow comes from phosphorus paint
meant to give the animal a terrifying, unearthly appearance. Stapleton, revealed to be the
dog’s owner, escapes into the moor but falls into a boggy mire and is never found.

Holmes learns that Stapleton is actually Rodger Baskerville, the son of Sir Charles’s criminal-
minded brother. Rodger’s purpose was to remove all other claimants to the baronetcy and
then take it for himself. Using a false promise of marriage and an offer of cash, Rodger tricked
Laura Lyons into helping him lure Sir Charles outside, where the hound frightened him to
death.

Beryl is Rodger’s wife, but he forced her to pose as his sister to lure Sir Henry to visit, which
put the baronet on the moor where the huge dog might kill him. Holmes foils the plot, Sir
Henry is saved, and the legend of the hound of the Baskervilles finally is laid to rest.
