Throughout the end credits, the action follows a horsedrawn sleigh en route
to an unknown destination. In last shot, the audience becomes privy to the
surprise identity of the passenger, a key figure in Sherlockianana.
Before the end credits roll, there is a note that the film was an
affectionate speculation on Sherlock Holmes' youth, and not based
specifically on any of Arthur Conan Doyle's works.
