A young Walter Raleigh is introduced to queen Elizabeth I. An unlikely friendship grows but is threatened by her jealousy of his love for a beautiful lady-in-waiting, young Bess Throckmorton. Raleigh is imprisoned in the Tower of London but Elizabeth relents and Raleigh sails off with his love.
Rod Taylor has an uncredited bit part as Corporal Gwylim in this film. Taylor has about two minutes of screen time in this movie as he delivers a message to Raleigh in an almost incomprehensible brogue.
