Along the way, Lucky Luke encounters various historical figures, each portrayed by a virtual who’s who of contemporary French actors: Jesse James (Melvil Poupaud), Calamity Jane (Sylvie Testud), Belle Starr (Alexandra Lamy), and Billy the Kid (Michael Youn).

Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong), a blackguard, returns from apparent death to spread evil in Victorian England and blow up Parliament once and for all with his magical powers. The case is enough to return Watson to Sherlock's bosom, and they must deal with the slippery Irene Adler (Rachel McAdams), a woman who has scorned Holmes in the past and out-classed him intellectually.
