A young man working as the assistant to a professor has been murdered. While it appears that anyone could have entered the house and committed the murder, a clue in the form of a pair of gold glasses is found near the body. Working on the assumption that the killer wore the glasses as well as several other clues, Holmes comes to the chilling realization that the murderer is still in the house.

A murder has been committed, and the most valuable clue is a gold-rimmed pince-nez (a type of eyeglasses without stems that are secured by pinching the nose) apparently dropped by the killer. Scotland Yard detective Stanley Hopkins returns as Sherlock's foil to contrast the common policeman's take on the mystery with Sherlock's own genius insight into the matter.

Once again Arthur Conan Doyle presents a series of cases which baffle the police, but are no match for Sherlock Holmes and his trusty companion, Dr. Watson.
