The movie consists of three short stories that share a common satirical theme: alcoholism and drunkenness. The stories are "Such an imprudence!," "According to the laws of hospitality," "100 grams for bravery".

A girl named Mary Morsten comes to Sherlock Holmes, who asks him and the doctor to help solve the annual receipt of one pearl by her parcel and in the search for her father, who disappeared many years ago. Holmes and Watson do not refuse her help and find out that Miss Mary is the heiress of a huge fortune — the treasures of Agra, which are also claimed by the sons of Major Sholto and Jonathan Small — an escaped convict with a wooden prosthesis instead of a leg, whom the elder Morsten and Sholto deceived (while Sholto also deceived Morsten).

After upsetting the criminal underground in 'the Master Blackmailer' case, Sherlock Holmes has to face his archenemy: Prof. Moriarty.

1986 film directed by Igor Maslennikov

2009年乌克兰STB电视台拍摄制作的三集纪录片，深入回顾了1979—1986年前苏联福尔摩斯系列电影的制作过程和幕后花絮，其中包括很多主创人员的珍贵访谈。IMDB上暂无条目，这部纪录片分为三集：
第一集：初识(Знакомство)
第二集：巴斯克维尔猎犬(Собака Ба скервилей)
第三集：二十世纪伊始(ХХ век начинается)

这部1968年的电影是乌克兰诗电影黄金时代的集大成之作，导演Leonid Osyka堪称使用长镜头和远景镜头的大师，其中一个长达12分钟的描写一场聚会的运动长镜头绝对能和匈牙利扬索的作品相媲美。
