Night falls on the village of Mosta. The villagers all settle down peacefully to rest. But they are unaware that a group of corsairs are travelling, from far away across the seas, to raid their village.
During the raid, one of the beautiful village girls is kidnapped and the corsairs' ruler chooses her to be his bride.
But, although she is promised riches, land and jewels, she is very sad and begs to be allowed to return home.
L-Għarusa tal-Mosta describes the heroine's adventures and her return to her loved one. The characters involved include the ruler of this far away country - Baxan - and his vizier, his beautiful wives and dancing slaves.
