The actress Susanna and her "crew", travelling to Paris, decide to stay overnight in a castle. Having come to arrest its owner, Adrian d'Ambras, Napoleon's adversary, the emperor's soldiers misunderstandably take away the first actor, Ferdinand. Having refrained from intervening, in order to be able to help more effectively, their companion, Susanna and her companions continue to the capital, bringing with them a child still in swaddling clothes found in the villa, to whom - ignoring that his father is the Count of Ambras - have given the name of Adam. Once in Paris, Susanna learns at court that the Austrian emperor refuses to give her daughter Marie-Louise as a wife to Napoleon, considering him incapable of generating. Passing Adam off as the son of Bonaparte, Susanna allows him to announce his engagement with Marie-Louise, foiling the intrigues of the Russian ambassador and Paolina Borghese: in return, the emperor undertakes not to have Ferdinand shot. In the meantime, however, Ferdinand was freed by the same Count of Ambras, to whom Napoleon, in exchange for the services that Susanna had given him, granted him forgiveness.
