Marietta, and, armed with the latter a credentials, leaves France as one of 40 “ casquette ” girls bound for the French settlement of Louisiana to find husbands. The ship is captured by pirates, who land with their fair captives in the Everglades, but are routed by a band of Woodsmen under Captain Richard Warrington (Nelson Eddy), who proceeds to court Marietta.
