Il film intreccia quattro episodi della Storia nell'intento di dimostrare le nefaste conseguenze dell'intolleranza. The Fall of Babilonia: Belshazzar e i babilonesi festeggiano il trionfo. Ma il tradimento dei sacerdoti di Baal consente a Ciro di espugnare la città sguarnita, nonostante la strenua resistenza di alcuni valorosi e della Fanciulla dei Monti. The Passion of Christ: tre momenti, ossia le Nozze di Cana, i farisei contro Gesù, Maddalena. The St. Bartholomew Night: nella Parigi del sedicesimo secolo, Brown Eyes si fidanza con Prosper Latour, mentre un editto della cattolica Caterina de' Medici ordina il massacro della popolazione di fede protestante. The Mother and the Law: un industriale riduce i salari degli operai per finanziare un gruppo di suffragette e reprime duramente lo sciopero che ne consegue. In miseria, uno degli operai entra in contatto con la malavita.
