Orson Welles was so keen to make this film that he had to agree to shoot it in 23 days using only existing western movie sets. Macbeth ( Welles), Thane of Cawdor, is told by three witches that he will gain the kingdom. His wife, Lady Macbeth (Jeanette Nolan), urges him to hasten the prophecy with the aid of a knife. The original film was cut from over 110 minutes down to 89 but was restored for release onto video; it also had to be re-dubbed as Welles originally had the actors speaking with broad Scottish accents.

Orson Welles writes, directs and stars in this silent comedy adaptation, his first professional feature. After discovering his wife Clairette (Arlene Francis) has been unfaithful to him Leon Dathis (Edgar Barrier) flees aboard a ship to Cuba in pursuit of her lover Augustus Billings (Joseph Cotten). But when both parties arrive at their destination, Billings, in order to hide from his own wife (Ruth Ford) and mother-in-law (Mary Wickes), adopts the identity of a plantation owner named Johnson.
