Young Ben Blake (later played by Tyrone Power) lives with his grandfather until his uncle George Sanders wants him, but only because Ty is the rightful heir to George's brother's and Ty's father's estate. He takes Ty and makes him work as a stable boy. Ty starts to have feelings for his daughter Frances Farmer, who loves him back. But then again, why would she love him when she has the attention of other society gentlemen?
Ty escapes and meets John Carradine who has a dream of gold, pearls, money, money, MONEY! It's all found on a ship bound for adventure, beautiful islands, and Gene Tierney. Need I say more, except Ty isn't satisfied to live out his life simply, but to go and take back what is rightfully his from Uncle George.
I liked this movie a lot, a lot. It is very satisfying with its treatment of the subject matter, and has a lot of heart to it, which is found lacking in most other adventures or swashbucklers similar to it. If you want to see an old-fashioned film with an epic feel to it and a lot of fun, then discover "Son of Fury: The Story of Benjamin Blake."
