Gourmet meals on the island of New Providence is in short supply. Food stocks are low, the crew are reduced to eating fish. Even Lt Edward Beamish finds himself having to keep morale up by eating even more fish.
With the island is running low on food. Captain Dan Tempest orders that the old, the ill, children will get priority. Also Spanish prisoners in jail.
Some of the crew have a plan to get the prisoners food which is better than their meagre rations. Only until a supply ship arrives which is due anytime soon.
Later Captain Hernandez arrives with a proposal. He wants an aristocratic Spanish prisoner freed and the Spanish will let the supply ship past.
Tempest and Beamish are not keen on this. Instead Armando pretends to be the Spanish prisoner but the plan fails.
Despite all the hunger and also some danger. Armando is held captive by the Spaniards. There is a lot of humour in the episode. Somehow Armando does well to beat all the odds.
