Part I of episode XIII: Claudius is persuaded to remarry for his children's sake. He takes Agrippinilla, the most corrupt woman in Rome and the secret lover of his key advisor, as his bride. Claudius wants only to make use of her brilliant mind, while she longs for a position for a power. The epic story of his family's history he has been writing is now complete. Knowing the prophesy that her son, Nero, will be Rome's last monarch, Claudius is ready to meet his death when his wife poisons him; Part II: This fascinating documentary reveals the complete behind the scenes story of Alexander Korda's ill-fated 1937 screen version of I, CLAUDIUS.
