Young Sherlock Holmes

Teenagers Sherlock Holmes and John Watson form a profound friendship while attending the prestigious Brompton Academy in London. Their camaraderie develops amidst the academic rigors and social dynamics of their school life.

Watson soon becomes acquainted with Holmes' mentor, Rupert T. Waxflatter, a retired schoolmaster with a flair for invention. This meeting strengthens Holmes' inventive skills and deepens Watson's understanding of his friend's intellect.

As their friendship deepens, Holmes finds himself captivated by Waxflatter's niece, Elizabeth. This attraction ignites a rivalry with Dudley, a fellow student, who is envious of Holmes' affections for her, despite her clear preference for Holmes.

A shadowy figure begins targeting individuals with a blowpipe, resulting in a series of strange and haunting deaths at the academy. Bentley Bobster's fatal leap and Reverend Duncan Nesbitt's cruel demise fuel suspicions and fear among the students.

Inspector Lestrade from Scotland Yard arrives but dismisses Holmes' theories about the mysterious figure's motives and actions. This dismissal only fuels Holmes' determination to investigate further and uncover the truth.

In a cruel twist, Dudley manipulates circumstances that lead to Holmes' unjust expulsion from Brompton Academy. This turn of events deeply affects Holmes and challenges his resolve as he continues to seek answers.

Holmes engages in a final duel with his fencing instructor, Professor Rathe, which proves disastrous. Distracted by a glint from Rathe's ring, Holmes suffers a defeat that highlights the stakes of their ongoing rivalry.

The mysterious hooded figure attacks Waxflatter, causing him to experience terrifying hallucinations before his death. His last words, 'Eh-tar,' linger in Holmes' mind, prompting him to seek out the meaning behind these cryptic utterances.

Teaming up with Watson and Elizabeth, Holmes starts piecing together clues that suggest a connection to an ancient Egyptian cult, Rame Tep. This cult employs blowpipes for malicious purposes, heightening the danger they face.

The trio discovers a hidden warehouse where members of the Rame Tep cult are conducting rituals. As Holmes interrupts a sacrificial ceremony, they face immediate retaliation and must navigate through terrifying hallucinations to escape.

At Waxflatter's loft, Holmes, Watson, and Elizabeth find a photograph linking the deceased victims, including a fourth man named Chester Cragwitch. Just as they begin to understand the connections, their investigation is abruptly interrupted.

Cragwitch recounts his tale about uncovering an underground pyramid in Egypt, which led to a violent uprising. This history reveals ties to reality, including the vengeful motives stemming from a boy named Eh-Tar.

Upon returning to campus, Holmes realizes that Professor Rathe is actually Eh-Tar, the boy seeking revenge. They rush to confront him to prevent the abduction of Elizabeth and to reveal Rathe's true nature.

In a thrilling climax, Holmes, Watson, and Lestrade race to rescue Elizabeth from Rathe. A fierce battle ensues where Holmes confronts Rathe directly, leading to dramatic twists as past tragedies resurface.

During the final battle, Elizabeth is tragically shot while trying to aid Holmes, precipitating grief and regret. As the dust settles, Holmes reflects on the events, recognizing the tragic fate of those involved and the emergence of a new adversary, Moriarty.
