Horror Vault's take

Set against the opulent backdrop of 1886 Rio de Janeiro, this Brazilian period mystery transplants Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to an entirely unfamiliar world when a priceless Stradivarius violin vanishes from the court of Emperor Dom Pedro II. The duo must navigate the exotic rhythms and hidden dangers of imperial Brazil, where their European methods are tested by a culture utterly unlike anything Baker Street prepared them for. Equal parts comic adventure and atmospheric whodunit, the film revels in the clash between Old World reason and New World mystique.
