In this dramatization of the destruction of the Nauvoo Expositor press on night of June 10, 1844, Joseph Smith is portrayed wearing his uniform of the Nauvoo Legion Lieutenant General's uniform, enjoying an evening of luxury and excess in the company of his young plural wives — symbolizing the grievances the publishers of the Nauvoo Expositor held against Smith: polygamy, excessive political power, and financial dishonesty. Smith's order to destroy the press triggered the chain of events that led to his arrest and his death at Carthage Jail.
