Kit Hilton is the grandson of an Irish whore and a pirate, a daredevil buccaneer who sailed under the fearsome Henry Morgan and took part in the sacking of Panama City.
After returning to the wealthy Antigua, Kit is faced with Marguerite Warner, daughter of the Governor and the girl he lusted after as a boy.
