Oh, and also both of the gondolier's sons (now gondoliers themselves) are Republican. And married, though now one of them was married as a baby to Casilda, the daughter of a Spanish Duke. The gondoliers, Marco and Giuseppe, are (understandably) upset that they might now have to leave their wives, whom they'd married only that morning, for a lady they don't know. Casilda, likewise, is upset that she will have to marry someone other than her beloved Luiz, who is her father's lowly private drummer. As a compromise, the Don Alhambra allows both gondoliers to travel to Barataria and rule together. HilarityEnsues.

The plot is a parody of the melodrama. After the Don Alhambra de Bolero kidnaps the Prince of Barataria, taking him to a gondolier to be raised alongside his own son. After a number of years have passed, he returns to bring the rightful king back to Barataria, only to find that the gondolier is dead, and nobody knows which of his two "sons" is king except for the King of Barataria's foster mother, who is abroad.
