A pirate captain pretends to aid a governor in the capture of another pirate while all the time plotting to return to an island to get treasure. The other pirate has a boy that John knows as a cabin boy and John takes the boy with him because he has an item that indicates the location of said treasure. The tavern wench is betrothed to John, but he leaves before the wedding and together with the boy, they go in search of the treasure.
The main character, Long John Silver makes the film here. With all of his "AARRR" and "BELAY"s, he defines pirate talk. Everything else about the film takes a back seat to this. With style dictated by pirate talk, everything else becomes unimportant. I'm rating it adequate because his pirate talk was repetitive, but very in character. If ye don't agree, I'll make ye walk the plank!
