Lydia Bailey is a 1952 American historical adventure film directed by Jean Negulesco and starring Dale Robertson, Anne Francis and Charles Korvin.

He wants to obtain the signature of Lydia Bailey, whose late father left his large estate to the United States Government, which needs the money.

Albion goes to the American Consulate, but is shocked when his young guide, Nero, is killed by men trying to steal his luggage.

He tells Albion that there are many dangers as there are other gangs of armed men roaming the countryside who block their way, and who don't look kindly at anyone they think is supporting France.

Lydia consents to sign Albion's documents, but Napoleon's troops arrive and war breaks out, so her fiancé, Col. Gabriel D'Autremont, joins the soldiers in the city.
