In London, an aging Queen Elizabeth (Bette Davis) awaits him with love, but also with fear. Elizabeth pines for him, but refuses to degrade herself by recalling him. When Hugh O'Neill, 2nd Earl of Tyrone (Alan Hale, Sr.) revolts and routs the English forces in Ireland, the Queen has the excuse she needs to summon Essex.
