Plot
Misandric witch-queen Esmeralda manages to escape from the West Indies Fleet and settle in a desert island with her two daughters (princesses Rubí and Salmón) so they can be free from the influence of men, but the island actually happens to be inhabited by a misogynistic logger and his two sons (loggers Verdemar and Azulcielo), so the women cross-dress as men.
