Story: Captain Kidd has stolen the houseboat belonging to the Associated Shades from the River Styx and sailed off with the women of Hades. The men gather together to plan their course of action. A stranger takes charge of the meeting, suggesting a sea search, and deduces that Kidd has sailed for London. He tells the Shades how he solved the strange case of the Brokedale tiara and reveals that he is Sherlock Holmes. They set about finding a suitable boat, eventually chartering the screw steamer Gehenna from Charon. They receive a message in a bottle, found by Man Friday, from Portia aboard the house-boat. Holmes is planning to use the expedition to return to earth, having been killed off by his creator against his wishes at the height of his popularity.

Aboard the House-Boat the women are bemoaning the declining social standards in Hades when it is hijacked by Kidd and his pirates, who must decide what to do with the women - they decide to leave them shopping in Paris. The women begin to plan an escape strategy, but are distracted by the latest fashion magazines. Holmes takes command of the Gehenna and a distress signal is seen dead ahead. Kidd convinces the women that the voyage was planned by their husbands. Cassandra sees that he is lying and the women begin to plan their escape. The Gehenna sights an unknown floating island which Munchausen names Holmes Island in honour of their captain. The pirates are marooned on the volcanic island, the heat of which is making them fade away. They are taken prisoner and the Gehenna sets off again after the women who now control the House-Boat.
