An arranged marriage brings together Princess Sophie Dorothea and Prince George Louis of Hanover, who later becomes King George I of England. Their union, alas, lacks intimacy and passion. Then Sophie meets Count Konigsmark, a wealthy Swedish soldier who steals her heart. They plot to run away together, but their plans grow complicated upon the intervention of the jealous Countess Platen, one of Count Konigsmark's former flames.
