The film tells of the life of Luisa Sanfelice (1764–1800), a young member of the Neapolitan nobility who is in love with a republican, Salvato Palmieri. In the course of the French Revolution , a French army under General Championnet moves into Naples . Horatio Nelson is assigned to organize the escape of the royal family to Palermo . After the court fled, the Parthenopean Republic was proclaimed in January 1799. Luisa's husband, Cavaliere Luciano Sanfelice, also fled. Yet it remains. Luisa is then perceived as a symbol of the hated nobility, although she supports the revolution. In June 1799, Naples again fell into the hands of the royalist army under Cardinal Fabrizio Dionigi Ruffo . Ferdinand returns to Naples, where he organizes a massacre with his known brutal manner. 50,000 Neapolitans are killed. Despite popular indignation, Ferdinand I insists on executing Luisa on September 11, 1800.
