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.
