Frustrated by their not being accepted to participate in the European conflict, two aging gentlemen sit in Baker Street hoping that a new challenge will enter their lives. Sure enough, a young lady journeys from Essex to tell Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson of the disappearance of her uncle and of the local legends of the hell birds. Holmes is about to investigate this minor problem when he is summoned to the Tower of London, whence a dangerous German spy has escaped. The trail of the spy leads the detective to Dover, across the Channel to Paris, and then to the trenches of December, 1914. Holmes and Watson cross No Man s Land into German-occupied France, where they meet the Kaiser, the flying ace von Richtofen, and an English spy. The duo steal a German secret weapon and escape back to England, where a New Year's Eve concert at the Albert Hall provides a climax to their Continental adventure and also to the Hell Birds of Heaven's Portal.
