Someone called Rod Crawford has provided an excellent plot summary for this film at the IMDB.com site:
"After the Treasure Island adventure, Long John Silver turns up on a British Caribbean island, where he hears that rival pirate Mendoza has taken the ship carrying the governor's daughter...and his young friend Jim Hawkins. Naturally, there's more to his rescue plan than meets the eye; he hopes to get a new ship and go back for more treasure..."—Rod Crawford <puffinus@u.washington.edu>
This is an unnecessary and mediocre sequel to a good film. It isn't particularly well plotted, and there are not many sequences which are really entertaining (the chase after Hawkins by Hands near the end is admittedly well done and exciting; I don't recall others, to be frank). Newton is the main attraction here, with his vigorous (though a little monotonic) performance.
Rating: 34
