克劳德是一名音乐老师，为了逃离平庸的生活，他沉溺于梦想之中。他梦想到了1900年，被魅力无限的女人们包围，争相向他献媚。但是渐渐地，美梦却慢慢变成了噩梦。

Near death, King David has a vision that his poet son, Solomon, should succeed him, rather than hot-headed Adonijah. Furious, Adonijah departs the court, swearing he will become king. Other rulers are concerned that Solomon's benevolent rule and interest in monotheism will threaten their tyrannical, polytheistic kingdoms. The Queen of Sheba makes an agreement with the Egyptian pharaoh to corrupt Solomon for their mutual benefit.
