| Synopsis |
'Tis in the old and golden days when our impossibly handsome hero, Captain Ben Avery, sets sail for the Indies with the fabled Madagascar crown. By his side, the lovely Lady Vanity Rooke and Irish rakehell, Colonel Blood. But what have we here? Out yonder, on the high seas of adventure are ... Pyrates!! Gucci-booted Black Sheba, flaming-whiskered Firebeard and Calico Jack lead their crew on a Treasure Island-style hijack of Cap'n Ben's now fated ship. Lost is the crown; so too is Lady Vanity. Will our hero redeem the treasure and rescue his love from the lascivious clutches of Akbar the Damned? Read on, ye landlubbers, and all shall be revealed ... |
