Pauline Bonaparte accompanies her husband to the Caribbean. She loves the islands, but when a plague arrives in Santo Domingo, her husband sends her to an island off the coast of Venezuela for safety. Pauline becomes absorbed in voodoo after her husband contracts yellow fever. After his death, she leaves both the Caribbean and voodoo behind.
