During the Napoleonic Wars, the British frigate HMS Surprise is ambushed by the French privateer Acheron off the Brazilian coast, sustaining heavy damage. After escaping into a fog bank, Captain Jack Aubrey, the commander of Surprise, is informed that Acheron is too powerful and that he must return to port. Aubrey replies that Acheron must not attack the British whaling fleet and orders Surprise to be repaired at sea. Shortly afterwards, Surprise is again ambushed by Acheron, but escapes using a decoy raft.
