Empress Elisabeth of Austria is semi-estranged from her philandering husband Emperor Franz Joseph, with whom she unhappily celebrates her 40th birthday.

Elisabeth’s youngest daughter Marie Valerie falls ill after Elisabeth takes her for a nighttime ride, causing discord between Franz and Elisabeth.
