Jean Lafitte cuts a mysterious figure in the early 1800s—is he a patriotic privateer or a cunning pirate preying on merchant ships? When the British threaten New Orleans, Lafitte offers his services and considerable firepower to America, winning glory and a pardon for his men. But once the war ends, his restless spirit and taste for wealth drive him west to Galveston Island, where he builds his own kingdom and returns to his old ways, prompting the U.S. government to finally move against him before his legendary hoard can slip away.
