Plot
In 1891, Sherlock Holmes takes possession of a parcel by stealing it from Irene Adler and realizes that behind the sequence of anarchist attacks that have bloodied Europe in recent months there would be Professor James Moriarty, the nemesis of the famous investigator, who pursues a ingenious and obscure plan, of which Irene herself is an unwitting pawn. The woman, who enjoys the highest esteem by Holmes thanks to her cognitive abilities, will be murdered shortly after by Moriarty, who considers her unreliable.
At Watson’s bachelor party, Holmes runs into the mysterious fortuneteller Simza. The detective discovers that her brother, René, was most likely kidnapped by the henchmen of Professor Moriarty, who wants to use him for her dark purposes. After saving Simza from an assassin sent to kill her, and receiving some information about her brother Mycroft Holmes (who is a high-ranking British intelligence official), Holmes officially meets with Moriarty. After an exchange between the two, Moriarty reveals to Holmes that he was the one who murdered Irene and that he also has every intention of eliminating Doctor Watson and his wife Mary, who have just left on their honeymoon.
Holmes, after having saved the couple from an attack on a train and having thrown the doctor’s wife into a river to be recovered by Mycroft, goes with Watson to Paris to find the gypsy Simza. She tells them how her brother had long been associated with a group of anarchists, who had recently collaborated with Moriarty; Holmes thus discovers an attack in a Paris hotel where a business meeting between industrialists is taking place, but he is unable to thwart it and the industrialists all end up victims of the explosion, covering the only objective in which Moriarty was interested: a rich character of the war industry, owner of an important German arms factory.
