In the third part of this adaptation of a classic Sherlock Holmes mystery, Sherlock Holmes plans to conduct a secret stakeout in Julia's old room. As Holmes and Dr. Watson wait in the darkness, they suddenly hear a metallic noise and see a light shining through the ventilator from Roylott's room. They discover a venomous snake, the speckled band, on the bell-rope. Holmes hits the snake with a stick and it returns through the ventilator to Roylott's room, biting and killing him. Holmes later reviews the details of the mystery with Watson and explains how he solved it.
