A prince, the heir apparent to a large empire, was once the lover of Alice Faulkner's sister. During their love affair, he had written some incriminating letters to her. Alice was given these letters for safe keeping on the deathbed of her sister. Count von Stalburg, the prince's assistant, and Sir Edward Palmer, a high British official, have been given the task of negotiating the restitution of the letters to the prince prior to his upcoming marriage.
However, Alice Faulkner is being held captive by the Larrabees, a husband and wife team of crooks who realize the value of the letters and are trying to get them from Alice in order to blackmail the prince. Failing to secure the letters for themselves, they decide to involve Professor Moriarty in the affair. The film unfolds as a battle of wits ensues between Moriarty and Holmes.
Dr. Watson is only marginally involved until the final third. Holmes receives more assistance from an associate named Forman and a young bellboy named Billy.

好像22年版的翻拍情節要更詳細，選角也更加英俊，這版則有很重的舞台劇感。現在看來，四幕劇的歷史意義遠大於劇集質量本身，劇本更適合在舞台上表演，作為電影會顯得沒能成功挖掘福爾摩斯這個角色的本質，劇情也較為單薄，現代人應該會對福爾摩斯愛上這個有些傻氣的女受害者，感到難以置信。
