It is the story of a famous pirate king who was so notorious that the government put a pri'ce on his head, but who became one of the nation's outstanding heroes when he came to America's rescue in her darkest hour and helped Jackson Jack-son turn the British away from the gates of New Orleans. Fredric March is seen in the role of the pirate chief, Jean La-fitte. La-fitte. one of the most colorful characters who ever walked across the pages of American history. Lafitte was born in Bordeaux, France, at some unknown date before be-fore the French Revolution. His birthday, has never been established, establish-ed, although the late Huey Long of Louisiana declared one for him and made it a state holiday. After serving for a time in Napoleon's armies, Lafitte moved to the New World to try his fortune. for-tune. Gathering about him a band of ferocious outlaws from every corner of the world, he set up a pirate kingdom on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico not far from the thriving city of New Orleans. From his port of "Barataria" he carried on piracy in a gentlemanly manner, preying mostly upon Spanish vessels and establishing a set rule that American ships go unmolested at all times. Although the customs officials of the United States. Irked by the superior bargains he offered New Orleans shoppers, put a price on his head, Lafitte, as can be so clearly seen in "The Buccaneer," always maintained a deep affec- iously ill. In the closing year of the War of 1812, the prospects of the Uh-'.ed States in its struggle with England looked black as pitch. Washington was burned. Napoleon defeated, New England about to withdraw from the Union. Although Al-though the British made Lafitte an attractive offer for his - services, the pirate, obeying his loyalties, went to General Jackson and placed plac-ed himself and his resources at the disposal of the American ' army. He helped Jackson win the great Battle of New Orleans, and thus remove forever the spectre of a British capture of the American West. LINDON MRS.
