The quartet is hired to play a number of concerts for the residents during their tour of the islands Sandwich Cook Society etc. of the South Pacific. The island seems an idyllic paradise; however it is an island divided in two. The left half's population is led by Jem Tankerdon and is known as the Larboardites.

Despite the obstacles encountered on their journey the two parties have a disagreement that threatens the future of the island itself."
