| Synopsis:
In this 16th-century swashbuckler, the trouble begins when a sea
captain is unjustly sentenced to hang by the evil ruler of the Duchy
of Doruzzo and his daughter. Meanwhile, the comely lass who believes
herself the doomed captain's daughter is about to be sold to a harem
when they are freed by a handsome hero whom the captain hopes will
marry his daughter. Father and daughter then become pirates, and the
hero is obligated to catch them, but when he falls in love with the
girl, he switches allegiance and helps her attack the ruler's palace.
The two then lead the other pirates, and the angry peasants in a
revolt, resulting in the eventual death of the ruler, who confesses on
his deathbed that the female pirate (the captain's supposed daughter)
is his real daughter and heir to the Duchy; he then goes on to tell
her that years before he had ordered the captain to kill her, but he
refused and raised her instead. This confession so angers the other
daughter that she goes into a convent; meanwhile the pirate lovers
prepare for their wedding.
