Sherlock Holmes was the greatest detective in England. But there was one woman who had outsmarted him. A Scandal in Bohemia tells the story: Years ago, the King of Bohemia had an affair with a beautiful American opera singer named Irene Adler. Now the King is getting married and he's worried that the bride's family will call off the wedding if they find out about his past indiscretions. The only undeniable proof of the affair is a photograph, which Irene has in her possession. Fearing that jealous Irene will make the photograph public in order to sabotage the wedding, the King hires Sherlock Holmes to steal the photographfrom Irene Adler. Holmes devises a plan to get the photograph back, but Holmes' plan is no match for clever Miss Adler, who leaves everyone scratching their heads in awe of the woman who got away.
