The plot is set in motion when a desperate young solicitor named John Hector McFarlane bursts into the apartment shared by Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Inspector Lestrade arrives shortly afterwards and arrests McFarlane for the murder of Jonas Oldacre, a retired builder. McFarlane, the beneficiary of Oldacre's will, was the last person known to have seen Oldacre alive, and his walking stick was found at the scene with blood on its handle. Holmes' investigation fails to uncover any evidence to exonerate his client. Meanwhile, McFarlane's thumb print in blood is discovered which appears to clinch Lestrade's case against the young man.
