"Sixteen" is a story of unrequited young love and the flirtation that led the female character to think it was love. The story takes place at a skating rink in Wisconsin, a Thursday night of 1938. The unnamed characters of the story are a teenage girl and boy who meet while skating and finding instantly attracted to each other begin to flirt, laugh, and get personal. She allows him to put his hand around her waist (he actually does this without even asking for permission) and after skating is over he walks her home. He takes her phone number and promises to call, but never does. When she accepts he will never call she begins to reason on the futility of their encounter and moves on.

A major difference between the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original story "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" and its film version relates to the story's setting. In the original story, we see Holmes and Watson meeting with Helen Stoner in their shared 221B Baker Street apartment. In the film, Holmes works in a modern office equipped with the latest technology. However, the setting of the crime scene is the same in the original story and in the film. It takes place at Stoke Moran. The Adventure of the Speckled Band tells one of the cases of the detective Sherlock Holmes, the investigation of a mysterious death and the suspicioun that someone else might die under the same circumstances. Both the book and the adaptation follow the plot, diverging mostly on the resources Holmes has at his disposal, like a mordern office with secretaries in the adaptation and only a simple apartment in the book.
