Stroheim's runaway production was halted after nine months of shooting by producer Pat Powers, having gone nearly million over budget, with an edited running time of over four hours. After a disastrous preview, Paramount decided to release two films from the footage, as was Stroheim's original intent, with the second part, entitled "The Honeymoon," now lost.
Prince Nicki, an impoverished aristocrat, is in love with the beautiful innkeeper's daughter Mitzi, but is forced to marry Cecilia, the daughter of a wealthy factory owner.
