One beautiful September morning, Holmes received a visiting letter from a doctor named James Mortimer. The letter tells the story of how Hugo Baskerville, the ancestor of the Baskervilles, was killed over a hundred years ago by the teeth of the legendary "Hound of the Baskervilles." Since then, the Baskervilles have been haunted by the SINS of their ancestors, and the heirs of the family patriarch have all died in strange and gruesome ways. At first Holmes was not attracted by the story of Dr Mortimer and thought it was just an interesting legend. But as Dr. Mortimer gradually tells Holmes about the mystery of Sir Charles Baskerville's death, Holmes decides to intervene in the case, because he realizes that it is not only the true death of the late Earl Charles, but also the life of Henry Baskerville, the next heir to Baskerville Hall. Holmes finally sees through the criminal's scheme, and with the cooperation of Watson and the detective, kills the terrible hound, and Stapleton dies in the swamp during his late-night escape.
