Summaries

  • In the second half of the 17th century, countless pirates make the world's oceans unsafe. One of them is the gallant Jeffrey Brook (Robert Woods). In addition to richly laden frigates, he loves to conquer the hearts of beautiful women. Unfortunately, he lost his ship in a card game. So the tricky crook gets himself arrested without further ado, only to break out during transport to a prison island and take control of the ship. In the time that followed, he and his motley crew captured countless ships and advanced to become one of the most notorious corsairs in the Caribbean. The French, the English, the Spanish and the Portuguese put a high reward on his head. While on shore leave on an Antillean island, Brook is lured into a trap by a seductive beauty: the English officer Jackson (Armando Calvo) takes him prisoner, but makes him an offer. The pirate leader is to help the English find gold and weapons to persuade the population of the surrounding islands to revolt against the Portuguese. Although the corsair is able to free himself once more, he voluntarily agrees to an alliance with Jackson. In doing so, however, he pursues a goal of his own: Brook wants to get his hands on a gold treasure that is stored in the Portuguese fort.

The buccaneer can now acting as before, but under the King's protection.—Artemis-9
