This film tells the dramatic life story of the legendary dancer Lola Montez in opulent images:  from her unhappy marriage to a Scottish drunkard to her romantic affair with the composer Franz Liszt, as well as her relationship with Ludwig I, King of Bavaria, whose love of the dancer provoked a revolution among the country's aristocracy (there would've been a revolution for another reason had the nobles known that "love" was never going to be consummated).  Her long career ends as a sideshow attraction in a circus, where she is compelled to tell her life story in humiliating conditions.
