Un groupe de scientifiques est envoyé sur Arkanar, une planète placée sous le joug d'un régime tyrannique à une époque qui ressemble étrangement au Moyen-Âge.

Au cours de l'enquête, Watson, n'ayant pas encore d'appartement à Londres, s'installe avec Holmes dans la "demi-pension" de Mme Hudson, puis prend part aux affaires de son nouvel ami. Watson donne des cours de boxe à Holmes. Watson lui-même est un boxeur expérimenté, capable de faire face à plusieurs adversaires à mains nues. De plus, c'est un excellent tireur d'élite. Considérant Holmes comme un génie, le médecin décide de raconter au monde entier son talent et les mystères qu'il a révélés dans ses histoires, où il embellit souvent les événements ("l'histoire vraie" dont la série présente). Watson apprend à embellir les événements par le rédacteur en chef du Morning Chronicle.
