The Spanish ambassador in London, Count de Polan [Robert Warwick], an old family friend, writes to Queen Margaret [Viveca Lindfors], asking for a chance to rehabilitate Don Juan’s reputation at the Spanish court. He asks that she provide him a pathway back into favor, and in a gracious move the Queen grants the request.
