Porsenna, le chef des Étrusques, accorde une trêve à Rome à condition que la cité lui remette mille otages en garantie. Drusco, attiré par Clélie qui est à la tête d'un bataillon de courageuses Romaines, exige que ces femmes fassent partie des otages. Lucille, la fille de Porsenna, exhorte les Grecs à détruire Rome. Elle décharge les Gaulois de la surveillance des prisonnières et, dès qu'ils sont partis en expédition, elle enivre les Étrusques pour les inciter à abattre les otages. Clélie et ses compagnes réussissent à s'échapper, ce qui met fin à la trêve et déclenche l'attaque des Étrusques. Malgré la ruse de Clélie et de ses guerrières qui empruntent les égouts souterrains pour surprendre l'ennemi par l'arrière, les Étrusques sont vainqueurs.
