    Lively swashbuckler
    Captain Blood (Louis Hayward) is pardoned by the Crown for his crimes against Spain on the Spanish Main. By 1690 he is living in the West Indies on his plantation where he practices medicine and is to be married to Isabella ( Patricia Medina. His new life is put in danger when he is arrested on a piracy charge after somebody raids the island making him look guilty. To prove otherwise he has to sail again to unearth the truth.

    Based on the 1931 Rafael Sabatini novel Captain Blood Returns, Captain Pirate is a standard yet lively swashbuckler that is well-paced with some energetic and well-choreographed sword fighting - the stirring finale of cannon fire and a sword fight rounds up the decent programmer. Hayward, like usual, performs with elan and charisma and Patricia Medina sizzles.
