From the original story by Harry Carr and Walter Woods
Produced on the screen by James Cruze
Screen adaptation by Laurence Stallings
A Paramount Picture
Following a fiery patriotic speech by Pinckney in Philadelphia before a gathering of young boys, the scene shifts to Boston and the launching of the frigate Constitution, where the same boys are midshipmen now lined up for inspection by Commodore Preble. At the docks in Salem, the merchant ship Esther, under Bos'n, recruits a country boy in search of adventure. The commodore vies for the hand of Esther, the captain's daughter, but is involved in a fight with a boatswain when the ship is taken by pirates; the crew is sold into slavery and the captain held for ransom. The Philadelphia is captured, and Stephen Decatur proposes to recapture or destroy it. In the melee, Bos'n, Gunner, and Commodore escape and are picked up by the Constitution, where Gunner is lashed for desertion. They all participate in the battle at Tripoli in which "Old Ironsides" is damaged; Esther is reunited with her father and the commodore, and they proceed to Singapore.
