About the show

At Windsor during the May Day festival, Jill-All-Alone and Long Tom become entangled in court rivalries. Raleigh and Bessie Throckmorton love each other secretly, but their lost letter reaches Queen Elizabeth, who imprisons Bessie and banishes Raleigh. Jill helps Bessie escape, and the Queen ultimately lets them reunite, choosing Essex for herself.
