Director: Sidney Lanfield

Writer: Ernest Pascal

From novel: The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle

After the death of his uncle, Sir Henry Baskerville returns from Canada to accede to the family title and estate. Physician and family friend Dr. James Mortimer, concerned about aspects of the uncle's death, asks Holmes and Watson to investigate the legend of a mythical hound, destined to kill all living Baskervilles in Devonshire.
