Synopsis:
A swashbuckling and historical story, Michael Ingolby is a naval officer; his father is burned to death and accused of being a heretic in the Spanish Inquisition.  The son seeks revenge and finds such an opportunity in Queen Elizabeth I.  The monarch is in the midst of enemies, court members providing information to Philip of Spain, whose armada will invade England.  Michael suggests he go on a mission to Spain to find out who the English traitors are and when the invasion will take place.  The queen decides to agree with the plan and becomes annoyed at the attention he pays to her lady-in-waiting, Cynthia.  Gaining the confidence of Elena, a noblewoman, and an aristocrat, Don Miguel, Michael learns about the Spanish Armada and the traitors betraying the English queen.  He returns to England, scarcely escaping, and assists in the defeat of the armada.  For such heroic efforts, he is knighted by the queen and gains Cynthia’s hand.
