The story

In 1812, the Olive Branch, an American merchant ship owned by Captain Dorman (Robert Barrat), is returning home from an extended stay in the Far East when the crew abruptly discovers that their country is at war with England after the British brig piloted by Lieutenant Strope (Miles Mander) fires upon them. In the shelling, Dorman is killed and his daughter Corunna (Louise Platt) vows vengeance on the British. When her sweetheart, sailor Dan Marvin (Victor Mature) counsels caution instead, she contemptuously dubs him Captain Caution.
