In a glum castle, Mary Queen of Scots schemes to replace her cousin Elizabeth on the English throne - if, of course, she can avoid the death sentence everyone is urging the Virgin Queen to impose on her. In Whitehall, Walter Raleigh is spreading his coat over the mythical puddle so his sovereign will not dampen her dainty feet as she strolls toward her distinguished destiny. Meantime, spies and assassins scuttle through...
