Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson are holidaying on the English coast
when they discover a corpse on the beach... which then disappears. They
can get little help from the nearby village, populated by strange and
unfriendly characters. Then the corpse suddenly reappears in their
cottage and they are attacked by persons unknown. Watson comes to, and
discovers that months have passed, and Holmes is not the man he
remembers. What has happened to his friend? Does it have something to do
with a dead devil worshipper, whose children happen to live in the
cursed village?
