Le jeune Rimski-Korsakov, personnel du navire école Almaz, fait escale au Maroc espagnol. Sa seule idée en tête est de trouver un piano pour jouer son nouvel opéra, composé durant le tour du monde effectué par le navire. Son capitaine lui ordonne de plutôt aller boire, se bagarrer et courir les filles. Rimski demande à Cara, danseuse au café Oriental de faire semblant de dîner avec lui. Cara est en fait la fille d'une dame de la haute société qui travaille pour rembourser les dettes de sa mère. Cara tombe amoureuse de Rimski et réciproquement, poussant le musicien à déserter. Cara veut le remplacer à bord et se déguise en matelot, souhaitant devenir une grande ballerine en Russie, mais le capitaine découvre la supercherie. Rimski rentre à son poste pour éviter la cour martiale, jurant ne plus toucher à la musique, tant qu'il porterai l'uniforme, et quitte Cara. Quelques mois plus tard son ballet Schéhérazade est joué à Saint-Pétersbourg. C'est Cara qui en assure le rôle-titre. Le capitaine délie Rimski de son serment et le musicien dirige l'œuvre, regardant sa bien-aimée évoluer sur la scène.
