Storyline
Two noble Scottish brothers deliberately take opposite sides when Bonnie Prince Charlie returns to claim the throne of Scotland in order to preserve the family fortune.
When Bonnie Prince Charlie, heir to the Stuart throne, returns to Scotland to liberate his land from English rule, both Jamie and Henry Durie are keen to fight for their independence. They compromise however deciding that while one of them will fight, the other will remain at home remaining loyal to the English throne thereby protecting their lands and estates. The dashing Jamie wins the coin toss and sets off wearing the white cockade, the symbol of the rebellion. After the Battle of Culloden however, the Scots are defeated and a wounded Jamie, accompanied by his new friend Irishman Francis Burke, find themselves on board a smugglers ship headed to the West Indies. When they are attacked by pirates, Jamie finds himself a member of pirate Captain Anaud's crew. For Jamie however, he dreams of returning home to the beautiful Alison.
