But the uncle has no intention of letting the riches go—so he plots to kill Balfour, ultimately arranging for him to be kidnapped as a slave bound for the American colonies. Balfour's future looks bleak—until he witnesses a shipwreck and befriends the lone survivor, a rugged Highlander named Alan Breck Stewart.
