Un roman d’amour et d’aventures

An earnest young solicitor comes to Holmes just before he is arrested--for murder. He insists he had only just met the victim, and knows nothing of him, though he finds himself his sole beneficiary. But then Holmes finds a new thumb print, and the game is afoot.

An Earl's cousin survives drowning and saves a lady from the Great Fire of London.

A dying lord asks a tramp to pose as him and marry a lady, and he is later accused of killing the lord.
