Storyline

Rivaling Pirates and Spanish gold are the ingredients for this story. Blackie the pirate is the one who first hears from this shipment of gold when he encounters "Don" Pedro. He thinks of a plan to find this ship and its gold. His counter player is the vice roy of the Spanish kolony. When they visit one of the pirate settlements, they find three other pirate captains over there. One of them sells goods and prisoners from his latest capture. Don Pedro recognizes the wife of the vice roy, and Blackie buys her. However, one of the pirate captains, Skull, knows also who she is, and tries to make a deal. Blackie refuses, and Skull makes a deal with the other two pirate captains to plot against Blackie.—Ørnås

Short Review

This is an agreeable entertainment juvenile romp.....the movie displays action, swordplay, fist-play and humor....this release has some nice and even hilarious moments here and there , though isn't always interesting , sometimes is diverting and fresh and on a couple of sympathetic occasions is frankly delicious....Terence Hill is cool as the pirate hero who finds dangerous situations while trying rob the shipment......this isn't the usual Hill-Spencer buddy movie, but they're contenders instead of partners, for that reason they're best known for roles in Spaghetti, 'They call me Trinity¨and followings, where they're much better......this standard and average 7o's Italian swashbuckling film to be liked for Hill and Spencer fans....in spite of the film's title, it doesn't have been inspired by the Emilio Salgari (creator of popular heroic figure Sandokan) novel "The Black Pirate" - which, apart from two earlier European film versions, would again be brought to the screen (far more effectively) a mere five years after this one (with TV's Sandokan himself, Kabir Bedi, in the lead)......
