Overview

1603-1618: Sir Walter Raleigh is tried on trumped-up charges of treason and imprisoned in the Tower. For 13 years he languishes in jail, still dreaming of a legendary Peruvian empire, its treasure, and its king. King James is finally forced to release the old man and send him to Guiana to bring back the gold he has so often talked about.
