The Mystery: A Curse or a Crime?
The Winthrop family has lived under a dark shadow for generations. According to legend, when the "Winthrop Legend" strikes, the head of the house is destined to die. When the current heir becomes convinced his time is up, he seeks the counsel of Sherlock Holmes.
While Dr. Watson finds the legend chilling, Holmes approaches the case with his trademark skepticism. He soon discovers that while the "curse" might be old, the greed and motives behind the recent threats are very modern. This episode is highly regarded for its gothic atmosphere and clever resolution.
