Kidnapped
A tale of high adventure and gripping drama, Kidnapped is the story of David Balfour, a young Scotsman orphaned by the death of his father. He is sent to live with his uncle Ebenezer, who, as circumstances soon reveal, turns out to be a ruthless old man who fears David may try to claim an inheritance relinquished to Ebenezer by David's father. To get David out of the way, his uncle pays a ship's captain to kidnap the boy, take him to sea and eventually sell him into bondage. Aboard ship the plucky young lad meets Alan Breck Stewart, a Scottish rebel with a price on his head. Together, they survive a shipwreck, struggle to elude the King's forces and endure many hardships before reaching safety.
