Sir Charles Baskerville, from Dartmoor in Devon, England, has died, apparently from a heart attack.

His heir, Sir Henry Baskerville, has travelled from Canada to take up his inheritance arriving first in London.

Sir Charles' friend, Dr. Mortimer has come to London to meet Sir Henry and while he is there asks for Sherlock Holmes' help as he is suspicious about the death of Sir Charles and fears for the safety of Sir Henry.

There is, supposedly, a curse on the Baskerville family under whicha a monstrous hound has attacked and killed male members of the family for generations.

Dr. Mortimer is unwilling to go to the official police with such a bizarre story...

How does Sherlock Holmes treat Dr Watson?

Holmes treats Watson like he would treat any other person. Although Watson isn't the brightest bulb in the bunch, Holmes treats him very well. For instance, in the beginning of the book Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Baskervilles Watson proposes evidence/clues about a "walking stick" that they found in Holmes den. Watson's clues are way off. Holmes (who already knew who's walking stick it was, and who also knew that every one of the clues that Watson proposed was indeed incorrect) did not say a word to him. So that tells you that Holmes is very good to Watson.
