In “The Adventure of the Western Star”, Sherlock Holmes is asked to solve the mystery of a broken vase and a dead canary. The canary belonged to an actress, who was rehearsing a play in which she played a character who died of poisoning. The vase was broken when the canary’s cage was knocked over. Holmes deduces that the canary was poisoned and that the actress was the intended target. He also deduces that the murderer is the actress’s understudy, who is in love with her and wants her to get the lead role in the play.
