THE VIRGIN QUEEN.

In 1581, Walter Raleigh (Richard Todd), recently returned from the fighting in Ireland, pressures unwilling tavern patrons into freeing from the mud the stuck carriage of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. Raleigh asks for an introduction to Queen Elizabeth I (Bette Davis), to whom Leicester is a trusted adviser. Elizabeth decides to make him the captain of her personal guard. Meanwhile, Beth Throckmorton (Joan Collins) one of the queen's ladies in waiting, very forwardly makes Raleigh's acquaintance.
