Mary, Queen of Scots, spends her childhood in France. When her ailing husband dies, the young widow returns alone to Scotland, a country devastated by war. At the same time, Elizabeth has just become Queen of England and, for Mary, she is like a twin sister. Mary weds again, but her second husband, Lord Darnley, proves to be a weakling. When Mary finds the love of her life, the Earl of Bothwell, she has Darnley murdered and marries Bothwell. Horrified by this deed and the blind passion that motivated it, both the nobles and the people of Scotland spurn her. In desperate straits, she turns to Elizabeth for help.
