Storyline
| Plot Summary |
LaRochelle, a former pirate captain, is caught by the British. To get his ship back, he works as a spy against other pirates, first of all Blackbeard and Providence. He works on some ships, crossing the Caribbean sea, with the intention of being enchained, when a pirate ship is in sight, to make them believe he's an enemy of the British. One day, his ship is conquered by Captain Providence. What nobody knew before, Providence is a (beautiful, of course) woman. She believes his story and so he joins her crew. But Blackbeard, her fatherly friend, doesn't believe him. Providence and LaRochelle fall in love, although he is married. When LaRochelle tries to deliver her to the British, she forebodes the trap, kidnaps his wife and escapes. As for revenge, she wants to sell his wife on a slave-market. LaRochell gets his ship and his crew back and follows her. ...

| Trivia | "I would have died if I'd lost the part of Anne," said Jean Peters. "The costumes are delirious, any girl would look good in them.; they have tight-fitting trousers and open throat shirt down to here, and free top boots --- I'm in rags, really but so picturesque and flattering. And the character is terrific, she's a complete primitive, a girl raised by Blackbeard, the pirate, who knows no other life than the law of might. Just an animal. I can't wait to begin it. Of course, I'm aware it's a dangerous part, too. You could make an awful fool of yourself if you went overboard." See more » |
| Goofs | When Captain LaRochelle jumps from his burning ship, he is wearing a white shirt, but when subsequently brought aboard the Sheba Queen his shirt is green. Moments later when he enters Anne's cabin he is wearing yet a different shirt (sleeves hanging over cuffs) and a narrower cummerbund. See more » |

| Crazy Credits | PROLOGUE: Less than two hundred and fifty years ago, the last of the great pirates wrote their names in blood and fire across the pages of maritime history. This is the story of a buccaneer Captain whose name for one short year struck terror in the hearts of seafarers and merchants from the ports of the Carribbean to the great trading houses of London....

| Quotes |
Capt. Harris:
We have no business that I know of. Captain Pierre François LaRochelle: My ship, sir. We made an agreement, we shook hands. Capt. Harris: And you failed to keep it. The Sheba Queen is still free to burn and pillage English ships. While all we have of you is the unlikely story that Captain Providence is a woman. [turns back to his card game] Capt. Harris: Another card, please. Captain Pierre François LaRochelle: We put our hands to a bargain, Captain Harris. And to make my hand good, I've worn irons. I've been spread-eagled and flogged, I've been under the cutlass of Blackbeard himself. I've called red-handed cutthroats my friend, I've stood by and watched murders - and worse. And that's not all, oh no! Capt. Harris: Another card, please. Captain Pierre François LaRochelle: With the daily and nightly prospect of the plank at my back, I've flattered and crawled, made myself "agreeable" in all ways, to the vilest hearted she-monster that ever came out of the sea - and I think all the oceans will never wash me clean again. It's you, gentlemen, who have bungled. I still hold to my bargain! See more » |
