In the narrative, Conan escapes from tyranny in Argos and joins a pirate crew on the galley "Argus" before facing off against the fearsome pirate queen, Bêlit, who leads the notorious crew aboard the "Tigress". Their fierce encounter quickly turns into a passionate romance as they raid coastal villages and seek out untold treasures along the Zarkheba river.
