English Summary:

Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stocking is a British television film originally broadcast on BBC One in the UK on 26 December 2004. Produced by Tiger Aspect Productions, it was written by Allan Cubitt and was a sequel to the same company's adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles, made for the BBC two years previously. Although Silk Stocking retained the same Dr. Watson, Ian Hart, this time the character of Sherlock Holmes was played by Rupert Everett.

In November 1903, young women are being killed in London, each with a silk stocking stuffed down her throat. Watson seeks help from the retired and disenchanted Holmes, who determines that the victims are well-born ladies, not prostitutes. Evidence found includes a thumbprint, a pair of ladies' dancing shoes, broken glass, a strong smell of chloroform and a silk stocking removed from a victim's gullet. It seems that the killer has a foot fetish.

Holmes interrogates a survivor - a young girl who was apparently set free by her captor because she has a club foot - and arranges for her to "accidentally" see the footman that he suspects is the killer, despite his ironclad alibis. The girl identifies him as her kidnapper, but the thumbprint clears the suspect. Holmes then baits a trap for the killer: he uses the sister of a victim and has her perform in a classical tableau at an event attended by the King and Queen. Her Grecian-Roman costume is revealing, and her sandals expose her feet. After the performance, she walks away to be alone; the suspect drugs her and is quickly caught by Holmes and placed in custody. The sister returns home and is tucked into bed by her father.

Hungarian Summary:

London városában, 1903 novemberében, egy feltűnően öltözött női hullát fedeznek fel a Temzében. Eközben Scherlock Holmes a városban pihenget egy zöld tea és egy könyv mellett, és Dr. Watsonon sem látszódik különösebb érdeklődés a bűnügyet illetően. A rendőrség azt feltételezi hogy a halott nő egy prostituált volt és köze lehetett a magasabb társadalmi körökhöz is. Végül Holmes és Watson megpróbálják a borzalmas bűnügyet megfejteni, amely már-már az edward-kori arisztokrácia társadalmi kiváltságait fenyegeti.
