Despite the strange conditions of her employment—cutting her long hair short and wearing a specific blue dress—Violet accepts the job due to her financial needs. Upon arriving at Copper Beeches, Violet encounters a series of unsettling incidents. She is asked to sit by a window in a way that her profile is visible from outside, and she discovers a sealed-off wing of the house. Using a hidden mirror, she sees a man outside the house looking at her, which causes her employers to become hostile. When she tries to investigate further, she is threatened by Mr. Rucastle. Fearing for her safety, Violet contacts the renowned detective Sherlock Holmes for help. Holmes and his trusted companion, Dr. Watson, embark on a mission to uncover the truth behind the strange happenings at Copper Beeches. Their investigation leads them to a shocking discovery: Mr. Rucastle has imprisoned his daughter, Alice, in the sealed wing to prevent her from marrying her fiancé, Mr. Foster. In a thrilling climax, Holmes and Watson sneak into the house to rescue Alice, but find that she has already been taken away. In the ensuing confrontation, Mr. Rucastle is attacked by his own mastiff, leading to a dramatic and suspenseful conclusion.
