This film essentially begins a couple of years after the events depicted in the 1950 version of "Treasure Island" with "Long John Silver" (Robert Newton) being informed that a rival pirate named "Captain 'El Toro' Mendoza" (Lloyd Berrell) has kidnapped the daughter of "Governor Henry Strong" (Harvey Adams) and is holding her for a ransom of 1000 gold sovereigns. Needless to say, the thought of getting his hands onto that much money would normally be more than enough to spur Long John Silver into action. However, when he learns that his good friend "Jim Hawkins" (Kit Taylor) was also captured his plans to free him and "Elizabeth Strong" (Thora Smith) become even more serious. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film started off rather well but seemed to bog down about midway through with the introduction of several sub-plots. Having said that, I liked the performance of Robert Newton but even so it wasn't quite enough for me to rate this film any higher than I have. Average.
