A group of ruthless pirates attack a seventeenth century Huguenot settlement on the Isle of Devon in search of treasure and will stop at nothing to obtain it.
Kerwin Mathews who was famous for playing Sinbad in 1958's "The 7th Voyage of Sindbad) is the Male lead Jonathon Standing, with his back story having him involved with a Local Community Leaders (played by the Great Andrew Kerr) Wife (though Bess, played by the fragrant Marla Landi isn't in the Movie long LoL).
As a consequence of the Affair, Standing is sent to a nearby penal colony, but he is eventually freed by pirates commanded by LaRoche (played menacingly by Christopher Lee).
The pirates then force Standing to lead them to his settlement, where LaRoche and his men battle the villagers and search for treasure. And when the pirates learn that there's gold on the island, things really get cutthroat.
It's a great Movie with an equally great cast (Oliver Reed Makes an Apperance as a Pirate called "Brocaire") - for any fans of Hammer Movies, or the Pirate Movie Genre - I heartily recommend it.
