Jane Seymour frames Queen Anne Boleyn into an apparent affair, causing King Henry VIII to hae her head cut off.
It's mostly an excuse to show off some elaborate costuming. Originally this was done as an elaborately stencil-colored movie, although the color values have almost all disappeared to the level of washes over the entire frame.
Jane Seymour became the Queen of England, and gave Henry VIII the son he had been longing for; it was a difficult birth, and she did not long survive it, dying of the aftereffects. Henry wore black for three months, but began negotiations to marry Anne of Cleves almost immediately.
