Sherlock Holmes and his faithful companion Dr. Watson must unravel them quickly if they hope to save the latest heir to the Baskerville fortune from a centuries-old curse. This thrilling adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles preserves the enticing elements of the mystery while teeming with lightening quick character and costume changes that add to the excitement and fun.
