The Hound of the Baskervilles
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would turn in his Harris Tweeds if he saw what Pete and Dud have done to his classic tale of old rubbish!
A comedic spoof of Conan Doyle's classic mystery that prioritizes irreverent humor and absurdist antics over suspense or fidelity to the source material.
When a nobleman is threatened by a family curse on his newly inherited estate, detective Sherlock Holmes is hired to investigate.
