Plot: Early in the War of 1812, Captain James Marshall is commissioned to run the British blockade and fetch an unofficial war loan from France. As first mate, Marshall recruits Ben Waldridge, a cashiered former British Navy captain. Waldridge brings his former gun crew...who begin plotting mutiny as soon as they learn there'll be gold aboard. The gold duly arrives, and with it Waldridge's former sweetheart Leslie, who's fond of a bit of gold herself. Which side is Waldridge really on?

Chairman Caleb Parsons: Colonel Rogers rode all the way from New York.::Col. Rogers: Rode? I flew! There was daylight between me and that saddle most of the way!

Capt. James Marshall: There's a British fleet sitting outside Salem harbor right now.::Col. Rogers: And the French coast will be blockaded by the time you get there.::Capt. James Marshall: I'm not worried about getting in, Colonel. It's getting back with ten million in gold bullion. That's a big risk.::Chairman Caleb Parsons: It's a risk that must be taken, Jim. It can mean the difference between winning and losing the war. Now, what about it?::Capt. James Marshall: We might be able to do it - with the help of one man.

[Jim finds Captain Waldridge, his mentor, partying with three women]::Capt. James Marshall: Suppose you scatter these sea gulls from your rigging. I'd like to talk to you about something serious.::Capt. Ben Waldridge: You'll have to go, ladies, he's going to scold me.

[discussing Captain Waldridge's mini-submarine]::Redlegs: Sail under the water indeed - why, it's unchristian!

[Redlegs tries to calculate each mutineers' share of the gold they plan to steal]::Redlegs: Five million divided by two, three, four, six, seven, eight...::Hook: Stand away! Give 'im air. Can't you see he's sailin' uncharted waters!::Redlegs: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, five...::Hook: What is it, matey? Can I help you?::Redlegs: Hook, lift up my feet. I'll need my toes to mathematic this out.
