Bastille. She is separated from Gabriel. Her friend Eulalie hopes for women's rights. The ship carrying her, her companions and her beautiful, dancing heifer runs aground off the coast of a diamond-rich African country, ruled by savage King Boorioboola Gha. A series of lovesick wanderings and episodes ensue, including a meeting with a monster whale and a balloon flight to Arizona's uncharted Indian territory. Evangeline is pursued, wherever she goes by the foolhardy Le Blanc, an Acadian notary, who holds a secret will that will legally divert Evangeline's inheritance to himself if she signs a marriage contract, an event that is repeatedly, ludicrously interrupted. All ends happily.
