Sherlock Holmes and his friend Dr. John Watson are invited to Buckingham Palace to solve a case of national importance. Mycroft Holmes who is Sherlock's brother, tells them that Irene Adler has been in touch with Palace officials to tell them she has embarrassing photos on her mobile phone of one of the royals.
