A Spanish vessel is captured on the high seas by pirates, who bind the crew
and loot and blow up the ship. The only survivors are Michel and his father:
they are marooned on a desert island, and when his father dies, Michel
swears to avenge his death.
He joins a pirate band and proves himself by
capturing a merchant ship single handed; thereafter, he is known as The Black
Pirate.
Falling in love with a girl (The Princess) on the captured ship, he
saves her by keeping her hostage and holding her for ransom, but he is
caught in an attempt to escape and is forced to walk the plank.
Swimming
ashore, he returns with a boatload of men to rescue The Princess; the crew
scuttle the ship and, swimming underwater, Michel and his men storm the
pirate vessel and capture it.
Michel reveals that he is a Spanish duke and
offers his hand in marriage to The Princess, which she accepts. |
