**Storyline:**
Dr. James Mortimer seeks Sherlock Holmes’ counsel in London after the mysterious death of his friend, Sir Charles Baskerville, at his manor on Dartmoor in Devon. Although the official cause of death was a heart attack, Mortimer reveals that Sir Charles’ face bore an expression of terror, and nearby, the footprints of a massive hound were found. According to an old legend, the Baskerville family has been cursed since the English Civil War, when Hugo Baskerville allegedly caused the death of a maiden on the moor and was later killed by a demonic hound. This creature is said to haunt the family estate, leading to the untimely demise of many Baskerville heirs. Mortimer, who believes in the curse, fears for the life of the next heir, Sir Henry Baskerville.
Despite dismissing the curse as superstition, Holmes agrees to meet Sir Henry upon his arrival from Canada. Sir Henry, a cheerful and skeptical young man, is eager to claim his inheritance despite receiving an anonymous warning to avoid the moor. When Sir Henry is followed in London, Holmes sends Dr. Watson to accompany him and Mortimer to Dartmoor for protection and to investigate the threats against Sir Henry’s life.
They arrive at Baskerville Hall, a grand but eerie estate surrounded by the desolate moor and the treacherous Grimpen Mire. The atmosphere grows darker with the news that an escaped convict, Selden, a murderer, is hiding in the nearby hills. The combination of the barren landscape, the looming curse, and the presence of a dangerous fugitive creates a tense and foreboding setting.
