- After the events of the first film, Enola (Millie Bobby Brown) starts her own detective agency, but struggles to get clients, finding herself in the shadow of her brother, famous detective Sherlock Holmes (Henry Cavill). Eudoria is on the run from the authorities and trying to keep a low profile. Lord Viscount Tewkesbury is considered as a champion of change and progress, and Enola has a crush on him. But she doesn't want distractions in her life. One day, a young girl named Bess (Serranna Su-Ling Bliss) comes to the detective agency to report her missing sister Sarah Chapman (Hannah Dodd). Bess and Sarah worked at the same match factory, Lyons, where match-girls regularly fall ill and die from typhus. Though everyone believes Sarah ran away, Bess thinks she is in trouble. Bess takes Enola to the factory, where Enola meets the hot-headed Mae (Abbie Hern) (one of the girls who works at the factory). Mr Crouch (Lee Boardman) is the factory supervisor and runs a tight ship. Enola sneaks into the office to find old models of the matches, which had red tips instead of the current white tips. She also hears the owner of the factory Henry, having a heated discussion with Lord Charles McIntyre.
Suspicious of Mae, Enola follows her to the Paragon Theatre, where Mae works a second job, and discovers that Sarah did as well. Enola learns that Sarah had a lover and finds his poem in a vanity drawer. On her way home, she finds Sherlock stumbling out of a pub, drunk. She brings him home, and realizes he is unable to solve his latest case. She learns that the poem for Sarah is a code leading to an address at Whitechapel. Enola runs into Lord Viscount Tewkesbury at a park, and they get re-acquainted.
Enola visits the location and finds Mae stabbed and dying. She fails to save her but discovers a piece of sheet music in Mae's dress. Superintendent Grail (David Thewlis) and Inspector Lestrade (Adeel Akhtar) storm into the house and accuse her of murder, with her having no evidence to prove otherwise. She escapes through the window and is chased by policemen. She manages to make it to Sherlock's place, where he plays the sheet music for her, finding it off-key. His latest case involves blackmail of government officials, but he can't trace the owner of the accounts where the money is sent. Sherlock tells her to stay and leaves to clear her name, but Enola figures out that Sarah's lover will be at a ball hosted by the Lyon family, and heads there.
At the ball, Enola meets Cicely, a friendly lady who seems to have affections for Lord Viscount Tewkesbury (Louis Partridge), and chats with Mira Troy (Sharon Duncan-Brewster), secretary to Treasury Minister Lord Charles McIntyre. Lord Charles is himself at the ball, praising Henry's ability to make money from his factory. She sees Tewkesbury, who teaches her how to dance so she can find an opportunity to find out more from William Lyon (Gabriel Tierney), the son of the match factory's owner Henry (David Westhead) and Sarah's lover (she had figured out that William was Sarah's lover from the poem she got from Sarah's room). He tells her to meet him at midnight in the library, where she is arrested and carried away by the police. In the lock up Grail interrogates her, and Enola accuses Grail of taking bribes to protect the real criminals behind this conspiracy. Sherlock visits Mae's apartments and deduces from the clues that Grail and his own policemen were involved in killing her. But Grail says that the murder weapon has Enola's prints, while Enola is adamant that she never touched it. She is about to be hanged when her mother Eudoria Holmes (Helena Bonham Carter) and Edith (Susie Wokoma) rescue her and fight the police to escape.
Heading to Sarah's house to warn Bessie about the danger, she realizes that Sarah had found out that match-girls were falling ill from the cheap white phosphorus used in the matches, not typhus. She visits Tewkesbury and tells him about the clues. During the meeting, Cicely visits Tewkesbury while Enola hides. After Cicely leaves, Enola realizes that Cicely is actually Sarah in disguise and that her and William were working together to expose the Match Factory. Tewskbury and Enola profess their love for each other and head to the factory where they encounter Sherlock, who tells her that their cases are connected.
They deduce Lord McIntyre (Tim McMullan) had a deal with William's father to use cheap phosphorus to make more profits, at the cost of killing the match-girls. The trio discover William dead with the same sheet music Enola had discovered on Mae's body. They deduce that Grail had killed William. Upon discovering that the sheet music is actually a map of the Paragon Theatre, they meet Sarah, who confirms Enola's findings and reveals she and William needed Tewkesbury's help to expose McIntyre. As Enola informs Sarah of William's death, Grail, along with several policemen, appears holding Bessie hostage. Bessie bites him and escapes with Sarah while the trio fight the policemen, resulting in Grail falling to his death.
Lord McIntyre arrives with Lestrade and other policemen and burns the evidence (Contract between McIntyre and Henry. Also, proof that they knew that the girls were dying from the cheap white phosphorous). Sherlock and Enola deduce that Mira Troy is actually Moriarty and used what she knew to blackmail McIntyre and the Lyons. When Sarah, William, and Mae tried to expose the factory, she had William and Mae killed to preserve her blackmail scheme. Sarah, Bessie and Enola successfully convince the factory workers to call a strike, revealing the real reasons behind the sickness and deaths. McIntyre is arrested with Tewkesbury's help, while Mira escapes police custody. Enola sets up a new office at Edith's shop, where Sherlock offers her a partnership. Enola declines but agrees to meet him on Thursday evening. Tewkesbury later comes by and invites Enola to a ball.
In a post-credits scene, on Thursday when Sherlock is expecting Enola, he instead finds a man at the front door sent by Enola, who introduces himself as Dr. John Watson (Himesh Patel).
