Maude always liked her two tails, until the other merchildren began teasing her for being different. Ridiculed and lonely, she doesn't think her life could get any worse - until, one day, she is captured by a fisherman. On land, Tony faces difficulties of his own. Born with webbed fingers, he too is treated as an outcast. Hoping to find acceptance, he joins a circus; but the ring-mistress is cruel and life becomes even more unbearable. Then, one day, the circus purchases a two-tailed mermaid caught straight from the sea..
