Film synopsis: Young Lola Montez is predicted to marry a king one day. After a poisonous attack on the Spanish pretender to the throne she is arrested as a suspect, but is able to convince the governor of Barcelona of her innocence and even persuade him to travel with her to Venice. Her profession as a dancer leads to journeys throughout Europe, glamorous affairs with influential men and societal scandals. When the liaison with the Bavarian King Ludwig I even threatens to lead to a political revolt, Lola flees to New York, where she eventually impoverishes and dies.
