Synopsis:
Fairbanks plays an aristocrat who joins a pirate crew in order to avenge the death of his father. Along the way, he rescues a beautiful princess (Dove) discovered onboard the ship. This was the first major film to be made entirely in Technicolor and contains one of the silent screen's most spectacular stunts - Fairbanks sticks a knife into the top of a sail and lowers himself down as the knife rips though the canvas.
