In maturity, this beauty has become Princess Sophie (Jessica Biel), who is likely to be wed to Crown Prince Leopold (Rufus Sewell), a potentate as brutal as he is handsome--and he is very handsome. If Eisenheim and Sophie are to resume their tryst, they must elude both Leopold and his wily Chief Inspector Uhl (Paul Giamatti).
