In 1674, "reformed" pirate Sir Henry Morgan is a high official in Jamaica, but Edward Maynard hopes to win a large reward by proving Morgan still dabbles in piracy. Maynard goes undercover as ship's surgeon with a Morgan henchman...who's been supplanted by notorious Blackbeard himself. Also on the ship is Edwina Mansfield, seemingly a damsel in distress, to whom there's much more than meets the eye.

Review :
shiver me timbers!
Central character of the pirate Cap'n Teach is absolutely mesmerising (his end is especially so), a completely eccentric and idiosyncratic performance by Edward Newton. Sir 'Enry Morgan ('imself) is a second perfect double-dealing villain. All the pirate crew seem to have been expertly cast, each is amusing, grubby, ugly, dumb, violent, and filthy-minded, watch as they scale the ship each with cutlass in mouth! Film best seen in the colour version, so that we can see 'the Mansfield gal' (Linda Darnell) in all her lascivious purity tempting 'the sawbones' Edward Maynard. So we got romance, ye want fightin' ! - this is still the movie for you, grappling hooks, sabres, and redcoats are all there in mid-sea terror. Completely artificial yet glorious Hollywood bumf. The best swashbuckler of them all, by far the best film I watched as a child and still in my top ten. Wild horses wouldn't have dragged myself, my two brothers, and my sister away from this. Forget yer Gangs O' New York mateys, this be proper fare for ye table. And youm lads depressed by yer Bergman this be for ye also.
