This 13-part French adventure series revolved around Nicolas de Coursic (Michel Le Royer) – a gentleman and a lieutenant in the navy until the day he is accused of two assassinations he did not commit.
During a fierce confrontation, Nicolas spared the life of a rugged sailor named François Louba (Christian Barbier). In gratitude, Louba – alias “Le Libournais” – helped Nicolas to escape from captivity.
Now a wanted fugitive, Nicolas had to swiftly leave for America on the Belle-Rose.
He embraced a new life in the Americas as a privateer captain – earning the fearsome title “La Tempête” (The Storm).
The series followed four overarching story arcs detailing the duo’s high-seas exploits.
Although set in the Caribbean and the Americas, the maritime scenes were filmed on location at Lake Garda in Italy. The series also aired in Canada.
