It's time for Holmes and Watson to take on a new case, and this is a big one. Mr. Hilton Cubitt, of Norfolk, has come to them with a series of mysterious messages that he has recently received, consisting of childlike drawings of dancing men. The messages have frightened Cubitt's wife out of her wits, but he can't figure out why. To Watson it all seems like gibberish, but Holmes is intrigued, and can tell there's more here than meets the eye. As the new case is laid out before them, let this week's story help you lay yourself down into your bed and drift off into an evening of soft and peaceful sleep.
