Pineapple Poll like all the women of Portsmouth, falls hopelessly in love with handsome Captain Belaye, and as a result H.M.S. 'Hot Cross Bun' nearly sets sail with a very odd crew indeed.

'Pineapple Poll,' which is in the current repertory of The Royal Ballet, is freely adapted from 'The Bumboat Woman's Story,' by W.S. Gilbert
