Unaware of the threats surrounding him, the Roman Emperor Tito tries to live up to his office and his own expectations.
He generously forgives his opponents and helps the victims of the Vesuvius eruption. He also releases Servilia when her lover Annio asks him to do so. But Vitellia, who is striving for power, incites Sesto to murder and riot. When the Capitol burns and Sesto confesses, Tito must decide: punishment or leniency.
