About the show

In 1685, sea-captain Adhémar plans to marry his ward Antoinette to his nephew René, though Antoinette loves the lawyer Frontignac and René longs for Dora, a Creole girl he met in Guadeloupe. When Adhémar returns with Dora, Antoinette and René pretend to be married to conceal their own arrangements. A letter aboard ship leads Adhémar to permit René and Dora to wed.
