　　故事开始于1864年的德国，年仅19岁的路德维希二世（赫尔穆特·贝格 Helmut Berger 饰）登上了王位，成为了统治巴伐利亚的国王。实际上，路德维希是一个性格非常优柔寡断的男子，根本就不适合作为国家的统治者，他脆弱的自尊和薄弱的意志力常常将他置于痛苦的境地之中，这种痛苦在他挚爱的表姐伊丽莎白（罗密·施奈德 Romy Schneider 饰）含恨远嫁他乡之后，变得更加的强烈。　　实际上，路德维希也曾设想过实现自己的政治抱负，然而，他身边聚集着的，是各怀鬼胎的三教九流，当时间来到19世纪下半叶时，他的所有设想都化作了泡影。之后，为了逃避繁琐的政事，路德维希躲进了一座城堡之中，并且最终被大臣视为患有精神疾病，而遭到了废黜。
