Salome

As incendiary prophet John the Baptist preaches the coming of Jesus the Messiah in turbulent Galilee, the lascivious King Herod and his plotting wife Queen Herodias welcome back to the kingdom Herod's statuesque stepdaughter, Princess Salome. Freshly banished from Rome for her passionate affair with Caesar's nephew, beautiful Salome finds comfort in the arms of the Roman commander, Claudius, while the seditious Baptist becomes all the more a thorn in Herodias' side. Soon, King Herod will have to decide on life and death, and the exemplary punishment of John the Baptist: a sentence so cruel and dangerous that not even the seductive "Dance of the Seven Veils" will be enough to appease the king.
