Vallo (Lancaster) is the
captain of a pirate ship who becomes involved in the revolution in the
Caribbean in the late 1700’s. Vallo
seizes a heavily armed vessel and a very uncooperative captain named
Gruda. A plot to capture a rebel
leader, a lucrative arms sale and love on the high seas all crash head-on in
this zany tribute to the pirate movies of the 20’s and 30’s.
