Synopsis

A beer barrel delivered to 221B Baker Street contains the body of a man, drawing Sherlock Holmes into a new investigation alongside Dr John Watson. Their enquiries take them to Burton-upon-Trent, where they examine the poisoning of a regiment in India linked to a contaminated batch of pale ale.

With the reputation of the brewer Houghton’s at stake, Holmes finds he is not the only mind on the case. Miss Gertie Cresswell brings her own ideas to the mystery, as militant suffragettes, folding bicycles and the footprints of what appears to be a three-legged man complicate the trail.
