A naive sea captain walks into a café in Marseilles, where he becomes embroiled in a scheme to transport weapons to help a claimant to the Spanish throne. It is the captain's tragedy to fall in love with Dona Rita, the Spanish beauty who finances the project. Based on the writer's 'first passionate experience', gun-running for the Carlist regime in the 1870s, The Arrow of Gold is a pure adventure story which Conrad treasured as a fragment from his 'buried youth'.
