Tyrone power is a pirate in love with Margaret Sullivan daughter of a "lord". Tyrone's sponsor changes sides from piracy to regency and Tyrone follows him and calms himself. Meanwhile George Sanders (in an unusual role as someone from the lower classes) continues in his path of piracy. Margaret keeps spitting in Tyrone's face as he "woos" her. Her upper class fiancee is in fact leaking info to the pirates, both to gain booty and to destabilize Tyrone's sponsor. The constant piracy casts doubts on the sponsor's honesty and the sponsor sends Tyrone to confront the pirates. Tyrone first kidnaps Margaret and then discovers that the only way to confront the pirates is to feign cooperation (too slow to out run and too weak to outfight), but this fakery is discovered. But in a final battle Tyrone helps to defeat the pirates, but he is injured and finally gains Margaret's love.
(Also starring Thomas Mitchell and Anthony Quinn)
