Synopsis: The story is about an ancient Indian tradition, according to which in a place called Amalandia, where the military government of that English possession was installed, there existed a rare species of trees that flourished only once every hundred years, and, To do so, they let fall from their flowers a subtle dust that exerted a mood of falling in love with the beings that inhaled it. The governor of the place, an authoritarian and disciplined man, had forbidden both the relations of his officers with the indigenous women and the natives contracting marriage with as many women as they could maintain, as was customary in that inhospitable region. The general, completely ignoring the fact that the place set up for the garrison extended before that leafy Eden, could not explain what was happening to his men who felt more attracted to the weaker sex from the military arrival to that place. As if this were not enough, the visit of a series of artists just arrived on an English ship to visit the town did not help to alleviate the situation.
Even the general himself falls in love with Palmira, one of the beautiful artists who demand their attention and get after the effects of the dust of the trees that the general himself softens, while he sings the admirable song entitled The Saleswoman of Kisses. In addition, the irruption of the minister of the colonies, accompanied by his sister and his nieces has just disrupted the crazy situation. Everyone falls in love.

About the composer: Vicente Lleó (1870-1922) was born in the Valencian town of Torrent, he was a scholar of the Real Colegio del Corpus Christi in Valencia, studied by Juan Bautista Plasencia and Lamberto Alonso. At the age of thirteen, he composed the first work, Dixit Dominus, to be performed by the Corpus Christi College, and at the age of seventeen he composed the first work for the theater: De València al Grau. He studied at the Conservatory of Valencia with Salvador Giner. After a brief stay in Barcelona he settled in Madrid in 1896, where he was an entrepreneur of zarzuela in the company of Amadeo Vives. Its production is very influenced by the Central European operetta. He effectively adapted different titles of Italian and Austrian operettas, a clear example was his adaptation of The Count of Luxembourg, by Franz Lehár
