Napoleon III offers the throne of Mexico to Prince Ferdinand Maximiliano and Princess Carlota. Through trickery they are convinced of the great future that awaits them if they agree to rule Mexico; however, the resistance of the republic under President Benito Juárez puts an end to the imperialist adventure of Napoleon III. Maximiliano is imprisoned and faces trial for threatening the sovereignty of Mexico. In her desperation, Carlota seeks in vain the help of the European monarchies.
