Sea Devils

Gilliatt, a fisherman turned smuggler, agrees to transport Droucette to the French coast aboard his ship Sea Devil. Droucette explains she intends to organize the rescue of her brother from a French prison, setting a dangerous mission in motion. The voyage starts from Guernsey into the perilous waters of the war-torn Channel.

On the voyage, Droucette outlines her secret objective to rescue her brother from a French prison. Gil finds himself drawn to her courage and charm, and begins to fall in love despite the risks. The growing attraction complicates the mission as they sail toward France.

Gil discovers that Droucette is not merely a French ally but a British agent working to thwart Napoleon's invasion. The revelation turns romance into suspicion and tests his loyalties. The two navigate a dangerous truth as the ship presses on.

Believing her to be a French spy, Gil abducts Droucette and returns with her to Guernsey. He confronts her with accusations of espionage and drags her toward Lethierry to press the matter. The misunderstanding sets in motion a tangle of betrayals and counterplots.

Lethierry orchestrates the whole thing so that Droucette is not imprisoned. Instead, she is quietly sent back to France, avoiding immediate punishment. Gil remains unaware of the broader game at play as events spiral.

Gilliatt spots Rantain escorting Droucette to his boat under cover of night. He swims to Rantain's vessel and knocks out Blasquito, hoping to intervene. Instead, he is overpowered and chained below deck, leaving the pair separated.

Droucette stops short of telling Gil the full truth, but she kisses him and proclaims her love before disembarking on the French shore. He misreads the gesture as proof of a French espionage plot and clings to a dangerous illusion. Off the coast, she appears to slip away into the larger game she’s entangled in.

Rantain takes Gil back to Guernsey, and both end up imprisoned as the larger espionage scheme continues to unfold. The apparent romance is overshadowed by betrayal and the looming threat of discovery. The clock ticks on their fate.

Droucette resumes appearances at the chateau and meets Fouché, who quickly suspects something is amiss. He notes that the staff at the chateau were replaced just before her arrival and calls in the elderly Baron to verify her identity. The suspicion heats up as intrigue tightens its grip.

Napoleon visits the chateau and explains his invasion plan to his generals. Droucette overhears through a trumpet-like transmission, while the Baron questions Fouché about the long-dead son. Fouché then locks Droucette in a dungeon to keep her from interfering.

A carrier pigeon carries news to Lethierry in Guernsey, triggering Gil's release on condition that he rescues Droucette. Gil accepts the mission, driven by love and duty, despite the danger and his rivalry with Rantain. The plan sets in motion a desperate rescue on multiple fronts.

A coded message is sent to Droucette but intercepted, complicating the rescue effort. Fouché's maneuvering forces Gil to recruit his rival Rantain as an ally to navigate the traps. The fragile alliance becomes a key to any possible escape.

Fouché pretends to let Droucette escape but keeps her under discreet surveillance. She heads to the cafe where Gil does his brandy collections and waits for him as plans unfold. The pursuit tightens as watchers close in.

At the cafe, Rantain arrives intent on killing Gil, but Willie bursts in and kills him instead. French soldiers surround the cafe, forcing a rapid escape to the coast. Gil leads the guards away while Droucette swims to a waiting boat, and Gil follows after.
