1912 April Indy's former tutor Miss Seymour has inherited a large sum of money from her recently deceased distant cousin Roger and invited Indy and his parents to come see her new home in Oxford, England. Indy's parents are too busy, but they send Indy on a transatlantic ocean liner to visit her. While there, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the author of one of Indy's favorite literary heroes Sherlock Holmes, replies to a fan letter Indy had written him by inviting Indy to tea at Claridge's Hotel in London. Indy talks Miss Seymour into letting him go alone. On the way, Indy witnesses a bomb explode in a mailbox. Witnesses think it was planted by suffragettes, but a policeman tells Indy it was the work of the Irish. Indy arrives at Claridge's and is welcomed by Conan Doyle. Over tea, Conan Doyle tells Indy the importance of observation in order to be a good detective. Conan Doyle takes Indy to see Madame Baclava, a psychic. She tells Conan Doyle that she sees years of success for him, but that someone very close to him will die in a terrible war. Conan Doyle believes that she must mean that he will eventually have to kill Sherlock Holmes in his war with crime, however, years later Conan Doyle will come to realize that it was his son she saw dying in World War I. In Indy's future she sees a big ship, a sea voyage, terrible danger and a gigantic catastrophe. As Indy leaves Conan Doyle, he tells him that he's sailing back to America, but there's no way the fortune will come true as he's on the safest ship in the world, the Titanic. On the way to the ship, Indy begins to notice how much Miss Seymour has changed due to her new wealth. Among her flashy attire is the Shalimar Diamond, a large and valuable jewel which her brother had brought back from India. On the Titanic, Miss Seymour meets a man named Colonel Osmond Gilbert who begins spending all of his time flattering her. Indy begins to suspect that Gilbert may be more interested in Miss Seymour's diamond than in her. At dinner, Indy meets Roger Sampson, an Inspector at Scotland Yard, who tells Indy he is going to America to lecture the New York police. Indy also meets Professor Khan of Calcutta University who tells Miss Seymour that the Shalimar Diamond was originally stolen from his people in India. Later that night Indy begins touring the ship and stumbles across an Irish woman hiding in a rescue boat. She introduces herself as Molly Kincaid and tells him that she had to run away from London to escape an abusive employer. Indy agrees to meet her the next day to help smuggle her into the third class section. While helping Molly the next day, Indy overhears two men talking in German about how they will have to row far enough away from the ship or else they'll be sucked under when the Titanic goes down. The two men leave and Indy distracts a purser while Molly sneaks down to third class. Indy then goes to see Sampson and tells him about the possible saboteurs. Indy tells him he wants to help and Sampson gives Indy the assignment of spying on Otto Dietrich, a famous German opera singer. Indy follows Dietrich the next day, but is seen and caught. Indy tells Dietrich that he is a big fan of the opera singer. Dietrich buys the story and gives Indy a private concert much to Indy's dismay. Indy reports back to Sampson to tell him that Dietrich seems clean, however, Sampson wants him to continue to spy on him. Later, while trailing Dietrich, Indy meets up with Molly again. She tells Indy that she has been shoving pamphlets supporting the suffragette movement under the doors of the first class passengers. The next day at breakfast Miss Seymour is speaking out against the suffragettes which surprises Indy since she has always been in favor of them. Indy realizes how much influence Gilbert has had on her. Indy is even more surprised when Miss Seymour announces that she and Gilbert will be married by the ship's captain the following day. One of the pursers suddenly bursts in and tells Indy that Molly needs him to come to her cabin before it's too late, however, when Indy arrives he finds that Molly has been captured by the Germans and now he too is a prisoner. Indy learns that the Germans plan on sinking the Titanic in order to cause a devastating blow to the Atlantic shipping trade. Inspector Rogers arrives and Indy learns that he, too, is a German saboteur. Right before the Germans can execute Indy and Molly, a loud noise is heard and water begins pouring in on them. Indy and Molly manage to escape in the confusion as the Germans are left to a water grave. When they reach the deck, Indy and Molly learn that the ship has struck an ice berg and will sink within a few hours. Indy races to Miss Seymour's cabin and finds her being threatened at knife point by Professer Khan. Khan wants to return the Shalimar Diamond to India. Miss Seymour promises to give him the diamond, but Gilbert, dressed as a woman in order to get on a lifeboat, arrives an knocks-out Khan. Gilbert admits that he was after Miss Seymour's money the whole time, but since she invested all her money in the White Star Line at his prompting, she has lost it all with the sinking of their flagship. Miss Seymour tackles Gilbert and Indy knocks him out with a blow to the head with a vase. Miss Seymour vows to give the diamond away; she's had her fill of being wealthy and wants her life to return to normal. As Miss Seymour and Molly get into a lifeboat, many of the passengers spot the lights from a nearby ship. Indy realizes the ship must have been in league with the German saboteurs. At the last minute, Indy refuses to get into the lifeboat saying that only women and children should be allowed to escape on them. Molly knocks him out in order to get him aboard and Indy awakens in time to see the Titanic go under.
