This adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's tale of valor and derring-do is set in the late 18th century during the time that England was ruthlessly trying to vanquish Scotland's bloody bid for independence. Young Scottish nobleman David Balfour would have inherited his family's estate had not his conniving uncle arranged for him to be abducted and put to sea as a slave. There he meets fugitive rebel Alan Breck, and together they have many adventures while trying to return home to claim David's birthright.
