As Harry Bartel visits Doctor Watson, he learns about a deadly mystery involving St Patrick’s day, the Irish, and the Blarney Stone. The stone is part of a castle wall, where potential kissers of the stone need to be lowered upside-down over the wall by their feet.
Relaxing in a pub, Holmes and Watson meet the friendly bar maid, and learn a little of a drama of romance in her life. Jeffery is a Littleton drunk, and a little too trusting of his business partner, Michael. When the bet to kiss the stone goes wrong, Jeffery is dead, and Holmes has a mystery on his hands.
Being St Patrick’s day, the cops don’t want to work. Jeffery won’t be any less dead if they wait one day to recover the body. Does Sherlock need it to figure out what went wrong? Using the clues he has, Holmes sets out to recreate the crime as best as he can. Is he putting himself in the same danger? Before it comes to the point of risking death, Holmes has it figured out, and with pressure on, the real killer is exposed.
