For generations the Baskerville family believes they have been cursed by a diabolical killer hound that prowls the fog-shrouded moors of their estate. When Sir Henry Baskerville is found dead the great detective Sherlock Holmes embarks on his most famous case and will need all his skills of deduction to unravel this haunting mystery and the legend of the hound.
Ian Richardson stars as the Baker Street sleuth in this 1983 adaptation of the novel by Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes (Richardson)'s skills are called upon when Sir Henry Baskerville (Martin Shaw) suspects he is to fall prey to his family curse. However, rather than investigate personally, Holmes opts to send his trusted colleague Doctor Watson (Donald Churchill) to take up residence at Baskerville Hall in an attempt to get to the bottom of the mystery.
But what will Holmes be up to in his friend's absence?
