In order to escape a protracted jail term and trial for accidentally killing a mutineer on his ship, Paul is forced to anglicize his name to Jones. He rises quickly in the fledgling American Navy during the early days of the Revolution, and his capture of a trove of British war supplies dooms British General Burgoyne at Saratoga and greatly aids Washington and the American cause. However, when the proud Jones is demoted while less competent and experienced officers are promoted to captaincies, the disgruntled Scotsman goes to Washington at Valley Forge to tender his resignation. There he undergoes a patriotic epiphany and withdraws his letter, and Washington promises him a ship... if he can get a crew to man it. Eventually, with Benjamin Franklin's help, he secures a ship from Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette which he calls the Bonhomme Richard and ultimately meets the vaunted British battleship of the line, the Searapis, in one of the great naval battles of all time. ...John Paul Jones
