Pinafore host Sir Joseph, Admiral of the Queen’s Navy, an arrogant fellow, who wishes to wed the captain’s daughter, Josephine.  However, Josephine has ’stooped’ to love Ralph, a common sailor.  Hebe wants to win Sir Joseph’s heart while Buttercup conceals her love for the Captain and a dark secret from the past which will affect everyone’s future.  Deadeye Dick tries to destroy the relationship between Josephine and Ralph by revealing their plan to elope.
