The gentlemanly Captain of the H.M.S Pinafore, who claims that he would never swear at his crew (What, never?) does not know that his daughter has fallen in love with Ralph Rackstraw, a common sailor serving on her father's ship. Meanwhile, the Captain has arranged for her to marry the First Lord of the Admiralty, Sir Joseph Porter. Sir Joseph himself has risen from humble beginnings to gain his office by political acumen, despite having never served himself in the Queen's Na-vee! And the Captain himself fancies a poor peddler woman affectionately called Little Buttercup. Due to their differences in social class, it seems that the two couples will never be able to join in matrimony, but fear not: it all works out in the end.
