The Princess and the Pirate
Yo-Ho HOPE and a Cargo of Laughs!
A lighthearted swashbuckling adventure built on romantic escapism, treasure-hunting thrills, and broad comedy rather than genuine peril.
Princess Margaret is travelling incognito to elope with her true love instead of marrying the man her father has betrothed her to. On the high seas, her ship is attacked by pirates who know her identity and plan to kidnap her and hold her for a king's ransom.
