The story begins with a decrepit, now-alcoholic Lady Hamilton thrown into debtor's prison in the slums of Calais, and shows her past life by means of a flashback, as she narrates the story to her skeptical fellow inmates. In one of the early scenes that launches the flashback, Emma, well past her prime, looks into a mirror and remembers 'the face I knew before,' the face of the young, lovely girl who captured the imagination of artists - most notably George Romney and Joshua Reynolds.
