The story concerns Frederic who, having completed his 21st year, is released from his apprenticeship to a band of tenderhearted pirates. He meets Mabel, the daughter of MajorGeneral Stanley, and the two young people fall instantly in love. Frederic soon learns however, that he was born on the 29th of February, and so, technically, he has a birthday only once each leap year. His Indenture specifies that he remain apprenticed to the pirates until his "twentyfirst birthday", meaning that he must serve for another 63 years. Bound by his own sense of duty, Frederic's only solace is that Mabel agrees to wait for him faithfully. Meanwhile the pirates have planned their revenge on the Major General and are now coming to rob his estate. The sergeant and his police force await them. They meet.
