Synopsis

Found at the corner of Goodge Street, a goose and a black felt hat. Mr Henry Baker can have the same by applying at 6.30 this evening at 221B, Baker Street.

It's 27th December and Sherlock Holmes has a new mystery to solve. Who is the unlucky owner of the shabby hat and festive goose dropped on Tottenham Court Road on Christmas morning - and just how much do they know about the priceless gem hidden inside the latter?

In this classic Christmas tale, Holmes and Watson take us on a riotous ride through London in search of the answer to a most singular and whimsical problem.
