It is about nothing less than war or peace, and so Holmes and Watson join forces with the American actress Irene Adler to finally bring Holmes' arch-enemy, the brilliantly evil Professor Moriarty, to justice. They get caught in a whirlpool of espionage, blackmail, and intrigue, where only at the very end will it be revealed who will prevail.
