World in His Arms [VHS]
Set in 1850, a celebrated sea captain who dares to trap seals off the coast of Russian-owned Alaska. After a particularly bountiful trip, he sails back to San Francisco and throws a large, lavish celebration. During the party he meets a lovely countess who, unbeknownst to him, is trying to escape her pre-arranged marriage to a greedy Russian prince. Trouble ensues when the prince finds her and forces her aboard a gunboat bound for the Pribilofs. When the captain learns of her kidnapping, he sets sail- amid gale force winds and treacherous seas- on a harrowing quest to resuce his lady love.
