Desiree Clary (Jean Simmons) has met the love of her life, and his name is Napoleon Bonaparte (Marlon Brando). But their love is a difficult one, as Napoleon's rise through the military ranks takes him away from her, and they both eventually marry other people.
Marlon Brando stars as Napoleon, blown apart by passion and forced to choose between Jean Simmons (as the commoner Desiree) and Merle Oberon as Josephine.
