As a young boy, future emperor Nero witnesses the mad Emperor Caligula kill his father and exile his mother. While in exile in the pontine islands, Agrippina, his mother, sees a vision telling her that her son can become emperor, but she will have to die first. She accepts the proposal. Back in Rome, Nero, now being raised by emperor Claudius after Caligula's death, Agrippina returns. She poisons Claudius' food and Nero becomes emperor. At first, Nero cuts taxes and introduces successful programs and invades Brittania. Soon he meets a beautiful slave named Claudia Acte, and marries her, throwing off his engagement with Claudius' daughter, Claudia Octavia, telling her she can marry someone she will be happy with. Heartbroken, she arrives at an island and kills herself. Nero enjoys being married to Claudia Octavia, but soon he gradually goes mad with power and sets fire to Rome. He divorces Acte, and forces the citizens to watch hour long recitals, and at one of these, accidentally kills his new pregnant wife, Poppaea Sabina. He kills several members of the senate and orders his mother to be stabbed, where she says: "Strike the womb, for that is what bore him." Nero's madness soon causes a riot, causing himself to flee the city in disguise, and slit his wrists under the saddened embrace of Claudia Acte, his once passionate lover.

Le député socialiste (Parti socialiste unitaire) Giacomo Matteotti condamne vivement le déroulement des élections législatives d'avril 1924 en Italie, qui permet aux fascistes, conduits par Benito Mussolini, d'occuper les deux tiers des sièges parlementaires. Matteotti milite, avec détermination, en faveur de l'annulation de ce scrutin qu'il estime truqué et préconise la tenue de nouvelles élections. Mais, en juin de la même année, il est enlevé et assassiné par des squadristi fascistes... Le "Duce" Mussolini a sans doute couvert l'opération, même si sa participation (directe ou indirecte) n'a jamais été formellement établie...
