Blond and blue-eyed little girls are being napped all over London, and Police Inspector Lestrade has no choice but to ask Sherlock Holmes for help. Holmes investigates, and applying his astonishing abilities of observation and logical deduction, determines where the next napping will occur. A police trap is laid, and the napper is caught, but takes poison and so cannot be questioned.
Sherlock Holmes tells Watson he has bungled the case, and now the children are irrretrievably lost. But after thinking about it all night, Holmes deduces a different, quite novel approach. With the help of Watson it is applied, and it works! The children are located and rescued, and the case is closed, to the satisfaction of everyone except Sherlock Holmes,.who cannot forgive himself for his mistake. Genius requires perfection and will settle for nothing less.
Due to the novel method Holmes and Watson apply to solve this case, it is probably the most unusual, and one of the most interesting, and possibly controversial., of all Sherlock Holmes's cases.
