Introduction
Arthur Lane reads Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes: The Ultimate Collection, starting with "A Study in Scarlet."
A Scandal in Bohemia
Holmes is consulted by the King of Bohemia to retrieve a compromising photograph from Irene Adler, an opera singer. Adler outsmarts Holmes, keeping the photograph to protect herself from future actions by the King. Holmes admires her intelligence and refers to her as "the woman."
The Red-Headed League
Jabez Wilson seeks Holmes's help after the Red-Headed League, an organization that employed him to copy the encyclopedia, abruptly dissolves. Holmes discovers that Wilson's assistant, Vincent Spaulding (actually the criminal John Clay), used the job to keep Wilson away while he tunneled into a bank to steal gold. Holmes, Watson, and the police capture Clay and his accomplice.
A Case of Identity
Mary Sutherland consults Holmes about her fiancé, Hosmer Angel, who disappeared. Holmes deduces that Angel is actually Mary's stepfather, James Windibank, who created the persona to prevent her marriage and keep control of her income.
The Boscombe Valley Mystery
Holmes and Watson investigate the murder of Charles McCarthy in Boscombe Valley. The prime suspect is McCarthy's son, James. Holmes uncovers that John Turner, a wealthy landowner, committed the murder to protect his daughter from a forced marriage to McCarthy's son, revealing a past connection in Australia and a blackmail scheme.
The Five Orange Pips
John Openshaw seeks Holmes's help after receiving mysterious letters containing orange pips, following the deaths of his uncle and father. Holmes identifies the Ku Klux Klan as the senders, seeking a document stolen by Openshaw's uncle. Holmes advises Openshaw to place the document on the sundial, but Openshaw is murdered before he can act. Holmes traces the senders to a ship, the Lone Star, and sends a warning, but the ship is lost at sea.
