Storyline

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.—Rod Crawford

Short Review

Another colorful, extravagant, and spicy RKO adventure film that pushed the limits of the Hays Code! This movie came from that era when Howard Hughes practically owned RKO studios. So even though he may not have directed or produced this film, his influence is still very present; most obviously in Linda Darnell's costumes. Robert Newton, the only actor Hollywood saw fit to play a pirate, once again gives a convincing performance as Blackbeard.
