Gloria Swanson in Madame Sans-Gene

Napoleon wasn't always an Emperor or even a General. In 1792 he was a lowly Corporal who couldn't even pay his laundry bill. But the laundress they nicknamed "Madame Sans-Gene" took pity on him and washed his clothing for free. The Revolution dramatically changed their lives and Years later when he had forgotten her they would meet again. By then she was a Duchess and she alone could stop Napoleon from condemning an innocent man to death. But would he listen to her?
