John Openshaw lives with his uncle Elias, who used to live on a plantation in the States. Strange things have been happening of late in their home. There’s a door that is always locked and his uncle’s behaviour has become erratic. One day, a letter arrives from India with only the mention 'K. K. K.' on it. It contained five orange pips. 'The Five Orange Pips' is part of 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes'.
