The Emperor's New Clothes

Napoleon's loyalists orchestrate a clever scheme, substituting a lookalike for the deposed Emperor on St. Helena, while the real Napoleon secretly returns to Paris with the ultimate goal of reclaiming power.

Napoleon, in exile, concocts a plan to reclaim the throne by switching identities with Sergeant Eugene Lenormand, then infiltrate Paris and reveal his true identity to regain power. However, the mission takes an unexpected turn as Lenormand becomes too enamored with his new luxurious lifestyle to expose the ruse, leaving Napoleon to adjust to a humble existence while waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
