Beautiful and rebellious, young aristocrat Ardita Farnam finds herself at the mercy of pirates when her uncle's yacht is taken over by musicians-turned-armed robbers, Curtis Carlyle and his Six Black Buddies. Fleeing south with Curtis and his band, Ardita, egotist though she is, finds she is more interested in the pirate leader than in her own precarious situation.

"The Offshore Pirate" was included in author F. Scott Fitzgerald's first collection of short stories, Flappers and Philosophers and, in 2013, was the basis for a short film of the same title set in the Cook Islands.
