Bombe di supposta matrice anarchica esplodono a Strasburgo e a Vienna, uno scandalo investe un magnate indiano del cotone mentre un industriale americano dell'acciaio muore misteriosamente. Eventi casuali, senza connessione? Non secondo Sherlock Holmes, che ha intuito dietro a tutto ciò un piano criminale, ideato dal professor Moriarty, uomo dall'intelligenza sopraffina e privo di qualsiasi coscienza morale. Holmes strappa dunque Watson alla sua luna di miele con Mary e lo trascina a Parigi, in Germania e infine in Svizzera. La partita a scacchi con Moriarty è tesissima, la posta in gioco niente meno che il corso della Storia.
