公元前52年，罗马共和国建立400年后，罗马已经成为世界上最富有的城市，是拥有100万人口的世界性大都市，也是雏形中的帝国的中心。罗马共和国是建立在分享权利和激烈的个人竞争的基础上的，从来不允许搞个人独裁。但这些共和国的原则基石正在腐败的弥漫和道德的沦丧下逐渐崩溃。统治阶级穷奢极欲、挥霍无度，传统的斯巴达人的戒律和团结已经荡然无存。。In this notorious Nazi propaganda historical costume melodrama, a conniving, ambitious Jewish businessman, Suess Oppenheimer, snares a post as treasurer to the Duke of Wurttemburg by showering the corrupt duke with treasure and promises of even greater riches. As the Jew's schemes grow more elaborate and his actions more brazen, the dukedom nearly erupts into civil war. Persuaded by the Jew, the Duke all but scuttles the constitution and alienates the assembly by lifting the local ban on Jews in Stuttgart. In a final outrage, the Jew rapes a wholesome German girl and tortures her father and fiancee. When the Duke succumbs to a sudden heart attack, the assembly of Elders try the Jew and sentence him to death for having "carnal knowledge of a Christian woman." Summary written by Kevin Rayburn。
