In the midst of the American Civil War, Captain James Playfair embarks on a daring mission to break the Union blockade and deliver supplies to the besieged Confederate city of Charleston.

As they approach Charleston, they encounter even greater peril, including Confederate spies and a relentless Northern pursuit.

With courage, determination, and a touch of romance, they strive to deliver their cargo and reunite Jenny with her imprisoned father, a prominent abolitionist.
