In the movie, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson know why a stepfather's deadly, but not how. While in the book, "The Adventure of the Speckled Band," Sherlock Holmes investigates the case of a young bride-to-be whose sister was murdered. Helen's sister died shortly before her wedding and Helen suspects that their stepfather, Roylott, is the culprit. Helen now worries for her own safety.

The setting takes place in Surrey, a suburb of London about 30 miles southwest of the city. The sisters live with their stepfather, Dr. Roylott, on a 200-year old ancestral estate called Stoke... while in the movie it is also the same.

The characters in the book are Sherlock Holmes, Dr Roy, Mrs. Stoner, John, and Helen.

In “The Adventures of the Speckled Band” book, the theme of the story is that evil will be punished by fate if not by man's instruments of justice. The story demonstrates a kind of karma. The doctor commits evil deeds, and those deeds pave the way for him to destroy himself. The same goes for the movie.

"The Adventure of the Speckled Band" is written from the perspective of Dr. John Watson, Holmes's close friend and avid admirer, and through his eyes Doyle presents a picture of Sherlock Holmes as a genius whose "rapid deductions, as swift as intuitions," are a joy to observe. The speckled band in this story is a snake. It is supposedly the "deadliest snake in India." It kills both Mrs. Stoner and Dr. Roy.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day!
