YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES
On December 11, 1875 [00:26-7:13] an accountant named Bentley Bobster unexpectedly apparently commits suicide, after being shot with a dart by a hooded figure. John Watson transfers to Brompton Academy and is befriended by the super-intelligent Sherlock Holmes. Holmes is in love with Elizabeth Hardy, niece of retired schoolmaster Rupert Waxflatter, and thus a foe of her other admirer, Dudley. Reverend Nesbitt is killed by the same hooded figure, while Holmes bests Dudley in a battle of wits. Inspector Lestrade denies that the two deaths are connected. Dudley plants evidence that Holmes has been cheating on exams and Holmes is expelled. Then Professor Waxflatter is killed by another dart, but Watson finds the blowgun at the crime scene, and the dying professor whispers “Eh-tar” to Holmes. Holmes traces a piece of cloth Elizabeth’s dog had pulled from the hooded figure to a warehouse where Rame Tep, an Osiris cult is conducting human sacrifices. The trio barely escape with their lives after being shot with the poisoned thorns used by the cult and experiencing terrible hallucinations. Holmes traces a fourth potential victim, who explains he and the three others, while building a hotel in Egypt accidentally uncovered Rame Tep’s pyramid, leading to a native uprising that was put down by British troops. A local named Ehtar and his sister vowed revenge. Ehtar is actually Professor Rathe and his housekeeper, who is his sister. They kidnap Elizabeth and plan to sacrifice her. Holmes and Watson use Waxflatter’s primitive airplane to reach the temple. There they stop the sacrifice, rescue Elizath and kill Eh-tar’s sister. Elizabeth sacrifices herself to save Holmes when Rathe shoots at him. After a duel Holmes apparently kills Rathe. Elizabeth dies. Holmes transfers to a new school, while an injured Rathe adopts the name “Moriarity”.
