A Christmas Story

Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson are traveling one day before Christmas Eve in the year 1882 on their way back from a successfully solved case in a horse-drawn sleigh through rural England. Due to an accident, they are forced to stay overnight in the small town of Christchurch. There, during the night, they hear mysterious bell ringing and organ music, and the next day, they learn of a murder at the cemetery. The perpetrator, Richard Wellesley, has fled, leaving his unhappy family just before the Christmas holiday. Will Holmes and Watson succeed in saving Christmas?
