A Sherlock Holmes Christmas Story, in which Holmes and Watson undertake an investigation of a mysterious Father Christmas figure, who brings helpful, healthful treats to the poor children in London's impoverished East End. Though Holmes appears to abandon the case, Dr. Watson, missing his departed wife, Mary, is driven to take it up on his own to escape his own holiday induced melancholy. Watson's desperate foray into the warrens of Cheapside to find the Gaelic Giant, as newspapers term the Father Christmas figure, expose him to dangers and revelations that challenge his notions of what is real, making these twelve days of Christmas a shocking and memorable case history that neither Holmes or Watson are ever able to solve.
