Summary

A letter from an old friend, Molesworth, sends Watson to Baker Street. Travelling to Winchester, he and Holmes find Molesworth bedridden. He believes he is being poisoned in revenge for the actions of his father in Peking during the invasion of the Forbidden City.

Holmes visits a Chinese poisoner and uses fingerprints to prove his case, but the outcome is not what he would have wished.
