Poor English servant girl gets sent to Italy by her master and becomes a lady. She meets Horatio Nelson and falls in love. They have a doomed affair, both are married, for the next several years. There are some exciting scenes of Horatio in sea battles, complete with cannon balls and sword fights on deck. However, there is also excessive harp playing and a death scene featuring breaking waves on a seashore over flashbacks.
