Synopsis:

The trilogy on Franz Josef, Emperor of Austria and his queen Empress Elizabeth by director Ernest Marischka has been cut and spliced to make this interesting though slow-paced, two and a half-hour compilation costume drama. The tale starts out with the courtship of the future queen, known as 'Sissi' (Romy Schneider, who made her screen debut in the first of the three dramas), an attractive and lively young woman. After Franz Josef (Karl Boehm) falls in loves and captures Sissi's heart, they plan their wedding and head into the topic of the second feature in the series, the coronation of Franz Josef in Budapest. Finally, Sissi is shown as being instrumental in helping to keep the peace - or obtain it - among the belligerent nations of Europe.

The Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I takes the very young and ravishing Bavarian Princess Elisabeth to Vienna after a short and stormy courtship and marriage against his mother's will. Sissi's wedding is like a dream. But a shadow falls on this harmonious marriage as the authoritarian mother-in-law does her best to make the 16-year-old empress unhappy…

The romantic "Sissi" trilogy condensed into one film. Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria falls in love with young princess Elisabeth.
