In the year 1745, Princess Catherine (Elizabeth Bergner) of Germany, arrives in Russia to wed the Grand Duke Peter (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.). At first, Catherine and Peter get along well, but soon his suspicious and erratic behavior drives a wedge between them. In order to improve matters in their marriage, Catherine is forced to invent adulterous liaisons with fictitious suitors in order to remain on par with her husband's real-life infidelities. As Peter assumes the crown, he becomes increasingly unstable. Ultimately, he is overthrown and executed, and loyal, cool-headed Catherine rises to power as the country's new Czaritza.
