Episode The Adventure of the Dancing Men: Part One
When country squire Hilton Cubitt arrives at Baker Street with a collection of childish stick figure drawings, Holmes faces one of his most cryptic cases yet. The crude sketches keep appearing around Cubitt's Norfolk estate, filling his American wife Elsie with inexplicable terror. As Holmes works to decode these "dancing men" figures, he realises they contain an ominous message connected to Elsie's mysterious past. Realising the Cubitts’ lives are in mortal danger, Holmes and Watson are faced with a race against time.
