Plot summary

John Watson arrives in London to establish as a doctor, but he knows no one and doesn't know where to install his office. By chance, he meets Sherlock Holmes in the street where an accident has occurred and a famous pickpocket, Jack Izzy, has been killed. Watson examines the body and is taken to the police station as a witness. Holmes and Watson help to prove that the cabman is not guilty, as he was wrongly accused by the police. But Holmes knows this is case of murder, and not an accident. When they leave the police station, Holmes asks Watson if he wants to stay in 221b Baker Street, where there is a free room. Watson accepts and installs himself. In the evening, Watson is intrigued by Holmes who is leaving Baker Street disguised as a drunken man. He decides to follow him to discover his strange activities. Holmes arrives in a pub of ill fame and is knocked down by thugs. Watson saves him but Holmes is mad at him because it was part of his scheme. They return to Baker Street and have a few drinks while Holmes demonstrates his deduction skills about the murder. Holmes had found 6 letters on the dead man and published a classified ad in all the newspapers for the owner to retrieve his letters (1). Soon, Lady Nelligan is claiming the letters, she wants to get them back as they are compromising the marriage between her niece and Count Lengton (2).
