On a stormy night off the coast of Scotland, young David Balfour faces
his most terrifying test yet. He's been double-crossed by his wicked
uncle, tricked into a sea voyage, and sold into slavery. When the
dashing Alan Breck Stewart comes aboard, he finds a brave friend at
least, and the pair fight back against their treacherous, blackhearted
shipmates. But then the ship hits a reef, it's every man for himself,
and David must battle against the raging sea itself!
