The sets and costumes, as noted in the film's opening credits, were those from Caligula, designed by Danilo Donati and used without his consent.

Lori Wagner, who played Agrippina in Tinto Brass's film, also reprises her role.

[1] The film begins with Messalina (Anneka Di Lorenzo), the wife of Claudius (Vittorio Caprioli), who is now Emperor succeeding Caligula.

Most of the film revolves around Messalina's adulterous behavior, while Claudius remains blissfully unaware.

It all ends in a comedic and gory bloodbath when Claudius comes home early and finds an orgy taking place in the palace.
