Sherlock Holmes pastiche – an actor who portrays Sherlock Holmes, Sheridan Haynes, on TV is invited to live in Baker Street where a lot of Sherlock Holmes's relics reside – particularly from his most famous cases. He decides to put on the dear stalker hat (Sheridan that is) to investigate some karate killings and he is drawn into the search for the murderer. Some are on point, but some go disastrously awry. But even though Sheridan feels a little out of time – he would prefer to be in Victorian England – he eventually solves the crime.
