The story

Rimsky-Korsakov, a midshipman in the Imperial Russian Navy, secretly yearns to be a composer, but naval regulations prevent him from doing so. He uses a stopover in Tangiers to work on his next composition, Scheherazade (which is actually a symphonic suite, but in the film is a ballet), with the tacit support of his captain. There, he meets Cara de Talavera and her mother, and romantic events and complications ensue.
