Storyline

A United States Navy ship in the first half of the 19th century, under the command of Captain David Porter, is expecting to put ashore after a year on the seas; but the arrival of one of Porter's ex-students, the willful and independent Lieutenant David Farragut, brings a new mission: to disguise the ship and crew as a pirate ship and help the Navy locate the criminals who have been robbing America's merchant fleet. But as Farragut's disobedience threatens the safety of the crew, they stumble upon an international conspiracy. Written by Gary Dickerson <slug@mail.utexas.edu>

Trivia

While 'Errol Flynn' was recovering from a broken ankle while filming Against All Flags, Universal took advantage of the standing sets by putting together this modest epic during the hiatus. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: Porter was stepfather to Farragut, not just another junior officer, and they did not serve on the same ship during the West Indian campaign. See more »

Quotes

Cmdr. David Porter: Well, Mr. Link, you're probably witnessing the end of a long and honorable naval career.
Chief Petty Officer Link: Yes, sir! But what away to go, sir!
