Plot Summary

Pirate Jean Lafitte declares was on Spain and raids Spanish ships under the Venezuelan flag, but never touches American ships. He fights the Indians and eventually establishes Galveston, on the Gulf of Mexico, where he hoards his loot. After one of Lafitte's pirates, unordered, sinks an American ship, he is hanged. Belle Summers intends to find out whether Lafitte was guilty and although she finds the truth, her servant betrays her and the American Army moves into Galveston, destroying the pirate's headquarters, while Lafitte and Belle make their escape.

Trivia French pirate Jean Lafitte led a crew of privateers and smugglers around New Orleans, Louisiana. He also was involved in the slave trade. During the War of 1812, the British asked for his help in an attack on New Orleans but he revealed their plans to the Americans. During the Battle of New Orleans, in late 1814, Lafitte was in charge of U.S. artillery. Following the war, Lafitte returned to piracy and established his headquarters at Galveston, Texas. After he scuttled an American merchant ship in 1820, his headquarters were raided and destroyed. He continued his pirate raids on the Spanish high seas until he disappeared in 1825. See more »
Goofs The earliest known version of the song, "I Wish I Was Single Again", was around 1904, which is much later than the setting of the film. See more »
