The population of a remote island remains frozen in the culture of the 19th century, serving the whims of a pitiless dictator (Pierre Brasseur). Pressured by his wife to hire a man she saves from execution, the cruel ruler doesn't suspect the man covets not only a secure job, but also the monarch's wife and the throne. (Arrow Films)
