Young Sherlock Holmes-Synopsis

Young Sherlock Holmes follows the adventures of a young John Watson and young Sherlock Holmes when Watson goes to boarding school in Victorian London (maybe around 1860). There he meets the brilliantly bizarre 15-year-old Sherlock Holmes, and the two boys strike up a friendship. They soon become involved in the investigation of a number of mysterious murders, but eventually their curiosity gets them into trouble with a dangerous religious cult. Watson and Holmes must struggle to avoid their capture while attempting to notify the authorities. There are some similarities with ‘The Sign of Four’. Welcome to Victorian-era London, England in the dead of winter, around Christmas time. This is the opening credits sequence. A dark and continually-jingling bad guy, wearing a very suspicious looking dark cloak and hood, and using a kind of maybe Egyptian blowpipe, shoots at an old gentleman. He is struck by a poisonous dart that magically disappears while the victim who hallucinates in front of a bunch of people who offer no help to the poor victim, who is obviously in distress. He goes home and continues to hallucinate – which leads to his very tragic and violent death. That is the first unaccountable homicide in the story.
