Santa Maria

About the show

Raised by the bird catcher Santa, Maria is nicknamed Santa Maria by their neighbors. The childless King of Holland learns that he had a child stolen from its cradle twenty years earlier. Lieutenant Bertrand, sentenced to death, volunteers to search for the missing royal child. Three years later in Italy, Bertrand is imprisoned and changes identities with a tailor. He is ordered to try a dress on Santa Maria and recognizes a lily-and-crown birthmark on her arm, proving she is the king’s daughter. Bertrand and Santa Maria fall in love and return to Holland, where they are proclaimed future king and queen.
