The television play begins with the story of Ishmael, an American sailor who sets out on a whaling voyage. The ship's captain, Ahab, is obsessed with getting revenge on a giant white whale known as Moby Dick. During a previous voyage, the whale bit off Ahab’s leg, and since then, the captain has worn a prosthetic.
