An eerie and frightful ship with red sail and black mast is floating on the boundless ocean as the captain, a Dutchman, is cursed by a demon to lead a vagrant life on the sea until meets a woman who is truly in love with him and willing to sacrifice for him when he is allowed to go on shore every seven years.

The time for the Dutchman reaching land comes again after another seven years. He lands on the shore of Norway and the captain Daland's beautiful and kind-hearted daughter Senta have heard the legend of the Dutchman since she was little. Gradually sympathy develops into burgeoning love. She believes that she can offer him the unperishing love and make him free from curse. However, a young man named Erik falls in love with Santa and his confession of love to her is accidentally overheard by the Dutchman. Thinking that he will be abandoned again, the Dutchman resolutely takes off in deep grief and desperation. Senta hastily runs after him but is stopped by Erik, Daland and other bystanders. At this moment, the captain pours out his life story to make her quit out of fear, but this lovely and faithful girl swears to love him till death. She fiercely breaks away from the people restrained her, and jumps off the cliff into the ocean, stretching out her arms toward the Dutchman. His ship sinks in surging waves. Amidst the sound of current and sunset glow, the figures of Senta and the Dutchman embrace each other and emerge from the ocean.
