Gilbert & Sullivan's The pirates of Penzance
1 videocassette (117 min.) : sound, color ; 1/2 in.
A group of pirates celebrate the coming of age of their apprentice, Frederic, but Frederic plans to go the police and have the others arrested. The arrival of a chorus of beautiful 17-year-old girls on a beach outing with their guardian, Major-General Stanley, leads to one complication after another. The opera ends with a hilarious battle with the police and the discovery that the pirates are, after all, noblemen who have gone wrong.
