A mix of romance, drama, adventure, and music, CAPTAIN CAUTION details the adventures of an American vessel, the Olive Branch, on its way home carrying a valuable cargo. Suddenly the ship is hijacked by the British who use it as a prison ship. When the captain of the Olive Branch dies, young sailor Mature takes command of the ship and of a romance with feisty sailorette Platt.
