While attending a naval party aboard her Father's ship, Adelaide offers harsh criticism to her Father's suggested suitors. Frustrated by her flirtatious mocking, the fed-up Naval Lord promises to marry her off to the first vagabond he meets. When inexperienced French Corsairs 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.
