Pauline Bonaparte arrives in the Caribbean with her military husband. She enjoys the islands, but is soon sent to an island off the coast of Venezuela to keep her safe from the plague. When her husband contracts yellow fever, Pauline immerses herself in voodoo, taught by a black man named Soliman. After her husband's death, she returns home, leaving voodoo behind her.
