On a visit to the spa town of Bad Ischl, Elisabeth's elder sister Helene is invited to the imperial residence of the Emperor Franz Josef so that an engagement between the young couple can be arranged. Not long afterwards, Franz Josef has a chance encounter with Sissi and finds himself strongly attracted to her.
