John Watson is the new kid in London's Brompton Academy. He befriends brilliant student Sherlock Holmes. Elizabeth Hardy is Holmes' girlfriend. Her uncle Rupert T. Waxflatter is the retired schoolmaster and a quirky inventor with a flying machine. Professor Rathe is Holmes' mentor. Dudley is Holmes' rival. Holmes suspects a connection between a couple of mysterious suicides from the newspapers but police Sgt. Lestrade dismisses the teens. The series of murders lead to hallucinogenic blow darts and an Egyptian cult in the middle of London.
I like the kids playing the iconic roles. I like the young Sherlock solving little mystery around the school. I love the search for the trophy. It's a fun time. It goes overboard with a wild action adventure. It doesn't feel very Sherlock-like, especially for young Sherlock. It reminds me of Spielberg's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. It's fine but the big, wild story overwhelms the story in the school. It would have been more interesting to solve a mystery inside the school.
