The story begins with Mrs. Warren coming to Sherlock Holmes at B Baker street. She is worried about the man who is living in her home. A young man with a thick beard who spoke well. He offers to pay considerably more for the room than the woman asks but has requirements. He needs a key, and most importantly to be completely isolated in the house. They bring him food every day but never see him, which has begun to worry her after a few weeks. She has also brought some cigarettes and matches to help him learn about the man. Holmes determines that there is something odd as the cigarettes are so short that they would have singed a beard.
This convinces him that there must be two people and so searches the papers for messages that could be sent to that person and discovers some possibilities. This is enough to convince him that he needs to see the person so he hides when they bring the afternoon meal and discovers that it is not a man in the room but a woman.
The events continue as the Mrs. Warren’s husband is kidnapped, though he is taken only a few miles away and then dropped off. That night they see a lantern signal. It is a warning but partway through it is interrupted. Holmes is able to decipher the message. They then go into the room where they run into a inspector and a Pinkerton detective. They are investigating the same case, but have come to it through far more conventional means and they are able to put together the clues each has gathered and discover that this is the wife of the man who rented the room.
The husband and wife are being hunted by a man who had fallen in love with the woman, but as they rush up to the room and discover that man is dead but as it was effectively self defense and so there is unlikely to be any actual prosecution.
