The Lobster Quadrille - Colonel Archibald Fanshawe, from Watson's Afghanistan days, bumps into his old comrade and proceeds to invite Watson and Holmes for dinner with him and his wife. As the dinner is in full swing and the main course gets underway it is apparent to Holmes that something is afoot after Fanshawe falls gravely ill at dinner. The Gantry Point Wreckers - Take a trip away from Baker Street whilst Holmes recuperates on doctor's orders in the North Devon town of Bideford.

Sherlock Holmes and the Gypsy Switch - Mrs Joan Moran's trip out to Streatham to ogle at Middle Eastern oddities culminates in a new case for Holmes and Watson.

The Kinema Mystery - In an unusual case Holmes must save the owner of several kinemas from a thief who is able to walk through walls and disappear without a trace. The Baker Street Conjurer - George Dean, proprietor and owner of the tavern 'Cold Cut and Tankard' requires the help of Holmes to ascertain how a conjurer who entertains his paying guests may, or may not, be magically stealing his earnings from right under his nose. Plus another eight vibrant tales of London's finest detective.
