A long time ago, in Sicily... Galatea was a sea nymph, a Nereid, who lived on the island inhabited by the Cyclops Polyphemus, son of Poseidon, who was deeply in love with her.

Fortunately, sea nymphs have special powers and Acis is granted immortality, transformed by Galatea into a gushing fountain.

While going to inspect a warship, a high commissioner, accompanied by his daughter, does not suspect that the rolling caused by his presence will upset hearts: his daughter is pining for two sailors and her father is infatuated with an actress.
