Vier kinderen maken zonder hun ouders de oversteek van Amerika naar Engeland, maar vallen tijdens hun zeereis in handen van piraten onder leiding van Chavez, die daar eigenlijk niet op zich te wachten. Maar de onschuld van de kinderen weerhoudt hem van barbaarse daden, al brengt het leven op een piratenschip wel de nodige gevaren met zich mee. Zeker wanneer er onrust onder de bemanning ontstaat.
Nee, helaas is A High Wind in Jamaica nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
