While attending a naval party aboard her Father's ship, the Promontory, Adelaide only has harsh criticism for her Father's suggested suitors. Frustrated by her inconsiderate mocking, the fed-up Naval Lord promises to marry her off to the first vagabond he meets. When inexperienced French Corsairs suddenly attack, Adelaide fears her father just might keep his promise. This retelling of King Thrushbeard by the Grimm Brothers is set during the French and English war of 1787.
