Watson is on holiday in the Lake District. He meets Lady Frances Carfax, who is staying at the same hotel. She is being stalked by a bearded man, which clearly upsets her. Watson writes to Holmes and Holmes warns that she is in great danger. Before Holmes arrives Lady Frances disappears.

On investigation it appears that the bearded stranger was once in love with Lady Frances, but was shunned by the family. He had gone to Australia to make his fortune and had now returned a rich man. He wanted to meet Lady Frances again. Lady Frances’s financial affairs reveals that she is involved with a bogus missionary, who is receiving funds from Lady Frances. Holmes knows he is bogus and goes to his house. At the house Holmes and Watson see a coffin being delivered. The next day they interrupt the burial and discover Lady Frances under a dummy in the coffin.

Dr Watson’s hotel was Underscar Manor, at the time of filming a hotel, now a private residence.
