L’île de Tulipatan

About the show

Romboïdal blames his wife Théodorine for their daughter Hermosa’s boyish behavior, while Hermosa finds Prince Alexis charming. The young pair fall in love, and Alexis asks Romboïdal to seek the Duke’s consent to their marriage. Théodorine reveals that Hermosa is really a boy, whom she registered as a girl to spare him military service. Romboïdal then reveals that Alexis is really a girl; the Duke and Romboïdal had hidden this to secure a male heir. Hermosa appears dressed as an officer, and Alexis wears a dress. The confused parents confess their deception, and the Duke agrees to the marriage before deciding to marry again and try for a son.
