In THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE, a nurse’s linguistic fluke causes the child Frederic to be apprenticed to a band of pirates. As the apprenticeship ends, twenty-one year old Fredrick leaves his violent, but loving pirates to fall in love and wed a Major-General's daughter. Confusion follows as the pirates chase after their loved apprentice and gather their own Major-General’s daughters to wed on the way.
