Three men escape from their brutal treatment. They then take over a ship led by Captain Scobie.
The three men discover that they have taken over a slave ship. One of the the men, Sam (Earl Cameron) is black and argues that the slave should be part of the crew.
The plantation owner Van Brugh is not pleased, the slaves were bound to work for him. Captain Dan Tempest is tasked to bring the ship back.
It was noticeable how the term Indentured Labourer was substituted for slave. A polite wording that the British liked to use.
Of course Dan Tempest was never going to give slaves back to the cruel Van Bugh. Tempest outbids him in an auction and then sets the slaves free. Tempest also used money stolen from Captain Scobie's ship as payment.
