During the reign of Emperor Nero, Commander Vinicius returned home triumphantly and fell in love at first sight with Princess Ligil, a hostage from the kingdom of Ligi in Rome. Nero then awarded Ligil to General Vinicius, but unexpectedly, Ligil was a Christian, which made it impossible for them to communicate spiritually as Vinicius believed in conquering and slaughtering to unify the world. She fled. To win Ligil back, General Vinicius traced her to a secret meeting of Christians. After hearing Peter's teachings about Christ, when he saw Ligil again, despite their love, they were still confused about the spirit of Christ. On his way back to the palace, he encountered the mad Nero burning Rome to build his city. Vinicius rushed back to the fire scene, rescued Ligil, and led the people to break out, with refugees pouring into the palace. The queen protected Vinicius's love for Ligil, while the cowardly Nero framed the Christians for the crime of burning the city, feeding captured Christians to wild lions, crucifying them, or burning them alive. Saint Peter was also crucified, but all the Christians sang hymns as they faced martyrdom. Vinicius exposed the truth on the spot, the Roman army turned against Nero, and he ended his atrocities by committing suicide.
