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.
