Four audacious men join together in a venture for risk and reward.
The accomplishment is fraught with unforeseen perils.
The outcome depends on their ability to counter with ingenuity and luck.
Four adventurous men undertake the challenge of building of an armed, merchant ship, the Neptune, three times larger than any to compete with powerful Venice for the prized trade in the East. The mighty sea power of Venice will attempt to capture or sink the Neptune, no matter the cost, but the ambitious Spanish navy wants the ship for its own and is prepared to field a squadron of warships to intercept and take possession of the ship. They must find a way to even the odds in the battle to overcome the treachery and greed of these formidable threats.
