The Mystery: The Bizarre League
The case begins when Jabez Wilson, a red-headed pawnbroker, comes to Baker Street with a strange tale. He was paid a high salary simply to copy the Encyclopedia Britannica because of the color of his hair. When the "League" suddenly dissolves, Sherlock Holmes suspects that the red-headed requirement was merely a distraction.
By observing the worn knees of a clerk's trousers and the hollow sound of the pavement, Holmes deduces a plot far more serious than a prank. Along with Dr. Watson and Inspector Lestrade, Holmes prepares for a midnight vigil to catch a mastermind in the act of a tunnel-based heist.
