In the doomed Roman city, a gentle blacksmith becomes a corrupt gladiator, while his son leanstoward Christianity


Peaceloving blacksmith Marcus refuses lucrative offers to fight in the arena...until his wife dies for lack of medical care.

The final disaster of Marcus and Flavius's cross purposes is interrupted by the eruption of Vesuvius.
