Long movie about the famous pirate going back to Treasure Island so he can, well, get some more treasure. Was this trip necessary? Not really, but the studio thought they could scrape in a couple more bucks by exploiting the story. They made less than they thought they would.

Robert Newton goes "Arrrrggghhh" and all that stuff while Connie Gilchrist tries to get him to marry her, in fact, she tries to incapacitate him with a stein of whole milk. It almost works. Good performance by George Simpson-Lyttle as 'Captain Asa MacDougall'. Film offers pretty costumes and lavish sets.

Colorful, but wordy, talky, and windy.
