An engaging naval tale set in the time of Napoleon. Horatio Hornblower, weary of the war that he has waged nearly his entire life, finds himself assigned to deal with the Flame, a brig full of mutineers off the French coast, near the mouth of the Seine. Horatio must rescue a man he knows to be a tyrant from the mutiny of his crew. Allied with him is his old love, Marie, who is by no means the least of the obstacles in the way of his return to the arms of Lady Barbara.
