Dans une ville d'Italie, des femmes de notables et de politiciens sont sauvagement assassinées par un tueur en série. Point commun de toutes les victimes : elles sont belles, se connaissent et trompent leur mari. D'abord épiées, elles sont ensuite photographiées avec leurs amants par le meurtrier qui, enfin, s'introduit chez elles pour les tuer à l'arme blanche. Avant de quitter les lieux, il laisse à côté de la victime les clichés compromettants qu'il a pris d'elles, le visage de l'amant ayant été préalablement effacé par le maniaque.

Although it is based on Conan Doyle's characters, the story is an original one, which has the famous detective on the trail of Jack the Ripper. In the dark alleys of nineteenth century London, the notorious Jack the Ripper committed a series of gruesome murders. The story of A Study in Terror challenges Sherlock Holmes to solve these horrific crimes. This leads Holmes through a trail of aristocracy, blackmail, and family insanity. Unlike Scotland Yard, and the real-life story, Holmes exposes the identity of the Ripper.
