Description:  A young American man is transported back to London in the time of the American Revolution and meets his ancestors. /// There's much concern over Peter Standish (Howard), that brooding American who seems much too obsessed with his inherited home in Berkeley Square, with its centuries of history and its past inhabitants. On September 3, 1933, Peter Standish, by dint of sheer will, travels 149 years to the past, to the year 1784. In the 18th Century, Peter slips into the form of his look-alike ancestor of the same name, Yankee Captain Peter Standish, who had just fought in the American Revolution under General Washington himself.
