The Pirates of Penzance (1983) Synopsis

Frederic (Rex Smith), son of a wealthy nineteenth century man was to be apprenticed to a pilot, but due to a hard-of-hearing nursery maid, was instead apprenticed to a pirate. Not just any pirate, but the Pirate King (Kevin Kline), leader of the not-so-fierce "Pirates of Penzance". But now his indentures are over, Frederic's sense of duty calls him to rid the seas of these rather simple ruffians. Despite their track record, the pirates believe that they have an ace up their collective sleeves.—Murray Chapman
