It is the War of 1812 and American Naval Lieutenant Darby Holmes is duty bound to cruise the waters of the North Atlantic in an attempt to keep enemy vessels from Americas shores, when he encounters a mysterious black ship and a distress signal from a beautiful woman trapped below deck. Pirates have captured Margarita Vicentes ship on her voyage to Los Tortugas after the death of her mother and she fears all is lost, until the handsome Lieutenant comes to her rescue and eagerly agrees to escort her to her new home.
