No one can tell who is the King; only the nurse Inez who took care of the infant prince might know the sober truth. Meanwhile, Casilda and Luiz the attendant are concealing their love and anguish……

兩幕輕歌劇《巴拉塔利亞之王》是吉伯特夥拍沙利文最後的顛峰之作。故事從迷人的威尼斯船夫兄弟朱斯卑和馬可說起，剛與泰莎和賈內塔圓婚的他們正要開展美滿人生，想不到迎來的卻是一位不速之客和一個未解之謎：他們其中一人正是巴拉塔利亞王國失散已久的皇位繼承人。

托羅廣場公爵與夫人帶著女兒卡西爾達來到威尼斯，尋覓卡西爾達早在襁褓時期下嫁的巴拉塔利亞國王後裔。無人知道誰才是真正的國王，惟他的保姆伊內茲也許能還原事情真相。與此同時，卡西爾達和侍從路易斯正為他們之間的戀情所苦……
