Overview
In 1747, a handsome but rebellious Scotsman named Richard Abdee is auctioned off as a slave on a Caribbean island controlled by French and British sugar-planters. When caught having sex with his owner’s wife, Abdee is given 100 lashes with the dreaded “dragonard” whip. This sentence is meant to be fatal but Abdee survives and later joins in a slave revolt which puts an end to the island’s era of savage whippings.
