This guy is coming home after a long time and after sees his father, he his leaving the house and his father was murdered.
He gets arrested and went to Australia (or something) for life.
On the ship is a boy, and our guy thought the boy to read and math. Later at the end of the movie the boy (now is a grown man) saved his life (the boy now is a red had hair and has a wood-leg)
Then on the Australia is a bad guy (like a officer) how made our guy life a nightmare. There is a girl (governor daughter). At the end of the movie our hero saved everybody life and the boat(girl, bad guy, etc) but after that he finds out that the bad guy lied about freed him.
After that years are passed and the girl is a women now, she doesn't remember about about incident and how the guy saved everybody.
Finally the guy escaped, goes back to England, the there the bad guy finds him but the boy from the beginning (red hair man with wood-leg saves him).
And he remains with the girl.
