Second viewing (first one: September 16, 1989).
Henry Morgan, an English pirate, is appointed governor of Jamaica by the king of England. He invites his former partners in crime, amongst whom is young James Waring, to assist him in the Jamaican government. Captain Leech is the only one who prefers to continue in piracy. Waring falls in love with the former governor's daughter, but she despises him, and besides is already engaged to another man. A series of attacks on English ships pose a threat to Morgan's position.
Well-made swashbuckler, good-looking and with an agreeable narrative flow.
