With the Captain’s wife having died years before, he has run the house as a disciplinarian with little fun, joy, or music. Soon, however, Maria is able to reopen the Captain’s heart toward his children and music. As this happens, the Captain's fondness of Maria grows as well. However, when a Commission in the navy of the Third Reich is demanded of the Captain, decisions must be made as to the future of the family.
