Presentation:
• Sherlock Holmes pretends to be
dying to expose the man who killed his own nephew due to inheritance.
• Mrs. Hudson, the worried
apartment owner of Sherlock Holmes, is running to Dr. Watson. Her guest at
death. For three days now, he has been refusing to eat and does not allow him
to invite a doctor; he only agreed to call Dr. Watson.
• An excited Dr. Watson finds his
friend in a terrible state. The great detective contracted a deadly virus and
you need to stay away from him. Dr. Watson wants to invite the best virus
specialist, but Holmes protests so much that Watson is scared.
• The patient falls asleep, and
Watson examines things in the room. A curious ivory box draws his attention,
but when he picks it up to get a better look, Holmes emits a terrible scream
and demands that Watson immediately put it in its place and not touch its
things. Then Holmes begins to carry nonsense. Finally, he asks to bring Mr.
Calverton Smith, a planter from Sumatra, where a virus outbreak broke out.
Smith is serious about this problem, and Holmes believes that only he can save
him.
• Smith is a small, twisted,
rickety and evil person. After hearing Dr. Watson, Smith arrives at the great
detective. Holmes orders Watson to hide behind the head of the bed, not to
move, and not to betray himself under any circumstances.
• Smith promises to cure Holmes if
he no longer investigates the death of his nephew. Smith suggests that Holmes
received a box in the mail (which Dr. Watson picked up), opened it, scratched
it, and contracted a deadly virus. Holmes asks to fulfill his dying request and
turn on the light. At this time, a police inspector enters the room, and the
revived Holmes demands matches and cigarettes.
• Holmes wanted to prove that Smith
killed his nephew because of an inheritance, and pretended to be dying for
this. Dr. Watson does not know how to pretend, which means that he had to be convinced.
Getting out of bed after a three-day post, the great detective is going to go
to a good restaurant.
