Sherlock Holmes is hired by Violet Smith. She is a music teacher, tutoring the daughter of a businessman, Mr Carruthers, who has just returned from South Africa. While living in Mr Carruthers' house she is propositioned by his business partner, the loathsome Mr Woodley, who turned violent when she rejected his advances. Not only does she feel threatened by Mr Woodley but a strange man has been following her on a bicycle when she goes to the station.
A good episode of Sherlock Holmes, though not one of the best. Not your usual plot in that for most of the episode no crime has been committed - Holmes is hired pre-emptively.
A bit weaker than most episodes though in that the plot feels a bit contrived and implausible. Some aspects of the mystery are quite obvious too.
