Synopsis
Paris, August 1792. In the midst of the French Revolution,
Catherine Hubscher is busily occupied as a washerwoman. One of
her patrons is an unknown lieutenant named Napoleon Bonaparte, whom she
befriends in spite of his reluctance to pay his bills. One of
Bonaparte’s men, Sergeant Francis Lefebvre, makes an immediate
impression on Catherine and within no time the couple are
married. Unwilling to be separated from her husband, Catherine
follows him on his many military campaigns, working as a camp
cook. Once Bonaparte has become Emperor of France, Lefebvre is
honoured with the title of Duke of Danzig. Catherine’s behaviour
at court, particularly her outspoken language, creates something of a
stir...
