Giuseppe Marchi, un escritor, abandona a la viuda con la que tenía una relación y se casa con una chica mucho más joven que él, a la que ha dejado embarazada. Se siente insatisfecho profesionalmente, sufre dolores y hace que le operen una úlcera y una apendicitis inexistentes, hasta que un psiquiatra le hace comprender que todo obedece a los problemas no resueltos con su difunto padre, un despótico oficial de carabineros.

In the mid-1500s, a ship containing Spanish prisoners being sent to a Spanish penal colony in the Caribbean sinks at sea, but some of the prisoners manage to survive and make it to shore at a nearby island. They organize themselves under the leadership of Juan Olivares (dynamically played by charismatic singer-actor Johnny Desmond), manage to take over a ship with some cargo that they barter for supplies, and eventually are asked to fight on behalf of the Spanish crown against the English... or is the request sincere?
