Unidentified characters, including victims of the murderer, also speak. The story involves a series of murders of young women, and Scotland Yard turns to Sherlock Holmes for help. Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes visit a wax museum in search of clues about the murderer and discover that the wax figure of the murderer is missing.
