Irishman Walter Raleigh tangles with Queen Elizabeth over his plans to sail to the new world. She is more interested in becoming romantically involved, but he has his sights set on court maiden Joan Collins. When they marry in secret, Elizabeth becomes enraged by jealousy and sentences him to death. A handsomely produced royal melodrama with a couple of good sword fights. It ends abruptly with Raleigh finally getting his sailing orders, but I guess that is for another film.
