Arrested during the Monmouth Rebellion and falsely convicted of treason, Dr. Peter Blood is banished to the West Indies and sold into slavery. In Port Royal, Jamaica the Governor's daughter Arabella Bishop buys him for ten pounds to spite her uncle, Col. Bishop who owns a major plantation. Life is hard for the men and for Blood as well. By chance he treats the Governor's gout and is soon part of the medical service. He dreams of freedom and when the opportunity strikes, he and his friends rebel taking over a Spanish ship that has attacked the city. Soon, they are the most feared pirates on the seas, men without a country attacking all ships. When Arabella is prisoner, Blood decides to return her to Port Royal only to find that it is under the control of England's new enemy, France. All of them must decide if they are to fight for their new King.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Good submitted by aamasud on August 24, 2019, 7:28am I loved it

of all the ridiculous swashbuckling romance pirate movies, this is supposed to be the best submitted by Tassos on October 20, 2019, 9:29am I looked it up, and they were able to make it on the tiniest of budgets, as they used ship footage from the silent movie era, AND the superstars of the time, like poor Errol Flynn who died less t han 50 years old, and Olivia de Havilland who, amazingly, is still alive in 2019 at 102, were NOT paid today's equivalent of $20 million PER Movie.
