- Dr. Watson travels to Devonshire to protect Sir Henry Baskerville from any danger, real or mythical.
- The events of the picture take place in 1889 [1]. Dr. Mortimer comes to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, who on the eve visited the detective's apartment in his absence and forgot his cane there. Mortimer tells the legend of the Hound of the Baskervilles, a hellhound that has haunted the Baskervilles of Devonshire for centuries, and reports the mysterious death of Sir Charles Baskerville, the owner of the Baskerville Hall estate. The newspapers write that Charles Baskerville's death was caused by a heart attack, allegedly he was very unwell, but Mortimer does not believe a single word, since not far from the body of the deceased he found traces of a huge dog. Most of all, the doctor is concerned about Henry Baskerville, the nephew and sole heir to Baskerville Hall, who has just arrived from Canada. Sir Henry visits Holmes and Watson; by this time he had managed to lose a new boot; he also received an anonymous note: "If reason and life are dear to you, stay away from peat bogs." The naive Sir Henry suspects nothing, and the troubled Holmes, Watson and Mortimer settle Sir Henry in a hotel. Watching Baskerville, Holmes and Watson noticed the heir's surveillance, and another, old, Sir Henry's shoe disappeared in the hotel. In a fit of anger, Sir Henry burns the remaining boot. Holmes, citing circumstances, said he should stay in London. For the life of Henry Baskerville, Watson is responsible. They head to Baskerville Hall, where they are met by butler John Barrymore and his wife Elisa. Watson notices that the butler walks with a candlestick every night. This gives rise to suspicion in him. Walking through the swamp, Watson meets Jack Stapleton, a natural scientist, neighbor and good friend of the Baskervilles, and his sister Barryl. Soon, Sir Henry arranges an evening in honor of his arrival, Dr. Mortimer and the Stapleton are invited to attend. Henry falls in love with Baril. After the evening, Sir Henry and Watson, who had been drinking heavily, spied on Barrymore. He, as always, walked with a candle and for some reason shone through the window. Watson and Henry saw someone shine in response. The owner, deciding that this is a bad sign for him, is ready to fire Barrymore. Eliza discharges the situation, telling that her brother is hiding in the swamps - the killer Selden, a fugitive convict; The Barrymore secretly feeds him, and the sign shown by the butler meant that the food was cooked and would be brought soon.—zoroman2008
