Geoffrey Thorpe is an adventurous and dashing pirate, who feels that he
should pirate the Spanish ships for the good of England. In one such battle,
he overtakes a Spanish ship and when he comes aboard he finds Dona
Maria, a beautiful Spanish royal. He is overwhelmed by her beauty, but she
will have nothing to do with him because of his pirating ways (which include
taking her prized jewels). To show his noble side, he suprises her by
returning the jewels, and she begins to fall for him. When the ship reaches
England, Queen Elizabeth is outraged at the actions of Thorpe and demands
that he quit pirating. Because he cannot do this, Thorpe is sent on a mission
and in the process becomes a prisoner of the Spaniards. Meanwhile, Dona
Maria pines for Thorpe and when he escapes he returns to England to
uncover some deadly secrets. Exciting duels follow as Thorpe must expose
the evil and win Dona Maria`s heart.
