Synopsis for
Against All Flags (1952)

A good-natured Technicolor romp with beautiful people in gorgeous costumes.

Brian Hawke (Errol Flynn) is a British navy officer who pretends to be a deserter in order to penetrate a well-defended pirate stronghold on Madagascar. Flynn is after a map of the harbor fortifications so that it can be successfully taken by the British navy.

Once inside the port, Flynn meets the pirate captains, including ‘Spitfire’ (Prudence) Stevens (Maureen O’Hara) and Roc Brasiliano (Anthony Quinn). Quinn is after O’Hara, who has the map, but she swoons over Flynn.

Flynn and Quinn capture and burn a ship carrying Princess Patma (Alice Kelley), daughter of the Great Mogul, and her governess, Molvina MacGregor (Mildred Natwick). Flynn saves the Princess from the burning ship and she falls for him, too.
