Based on a true story, the year is 1815 and William Rees-Mercer, an unemployed dreamer, whose despairing father, knowing that Napoleon is safe in exile, sends him to the army bound for Bermuda. Before he goes, he finds a soul-mate in Miss Emily Farrington who he attempts to woo, but is trumped by the rich local mill owner, Robert Craufurd, who has courted her for a bet with his friends. William leaves, but the truth comes out about the bet so Emily goes after him, closely followed by Craufurd who tries to prevent them meeting and bring her back to her family. Napoleon escapes from exile and William is diverted to Waterloo, and he has to finally reconcile himself with honour, self-respect and duty. Emily has to find him before he tempts death in one of history’s bloodiest battles, and before Craufurd finds her and brings her back.
