During the Civil War Driscoll finds himself a Lieutenant Colonel in General Joe Shelby’s band of Confederate daredevils a brigade who refused even at the eleventh hour to surrender to the Federal forces. The idea is conceived to complete expatriation by offering their services to the tottering throne of the Emperor of Mexico Maximilían — archduke of Austria and occupant of the New World throne created for him.. With this offer of military aid Driscoll is sent to Mexico ... where he sees the vision of a dissolving empire and of course finds love!.
