An old skipper fishes a mandolin out of the sea. Cautiously he starts to play, and the music entices a bird to the ship. The sailor puts his new friend into an old cage, but locked up, the bird loses heart. One day another bird finds the small ship and sets the locked up bird free. Alone at sea the old man is beside himself with despair, but the story ends well like all fairy-tales.
