Holmes and Watson are visited at 221B Baker Street by Ann Brandon (Ida Lupino) She tells him that her brother Lloyd has received a strange note: a drawing of a man with an albatross hanging around his neck, identical to one received by her father just before his brutal murder ten years before. Holmes deduces that the note is a warning and rushes to find Lloyd Brandon. He is too late, as Lloyd has been murdered by being strangled and having his skull crushed. Holmes realises that Moriarty is using the case as a distraction from his real crime, which will stir the British Empire.
