At the beginning of the story, Fred Porlock, a member of Professor Moriarty's gang, sends Sherlock Holmes a cipher. Porlock's original intention was to send the key to the cipher later. However, when Moriarty unexpectedly shows up, Porlock, thinking that Moriarty suspects him, tells Holmes that he has decided to not go further in the matter. Nevertheless, Holmes and Watson figure out the cipher, which tells about a certain John Douglass in danger of his life.
