Colonel Barclay is found dead in a room locked from the inside. His wife is also found in the room, having fainted. She is the obvious suspect. Due to his military background Watson encourages Holmes to investigate the matter and Holmes reluctantly agrees.
A fairly intriguing mystery and one typical of the series and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's work. Even better is the backstory to everything, a story that comes to light once a certain person of interest is tracked down. The dramatization of this backstory is the highlight of the episode and is very interesting and engaging.
Also good to see Watson taking a more active role. As the case has a large military aspect to it he is more in his element in this episode.
