Overview
Cutthroat pirate William Kidd captures Admiral Blayne's treasure ship and hides the bounty in a cave. Three years later, Kidd, posing as a respectable merchant captain, offers his services to the King of England. Seeking a social position, Kidd also negotiates for Blayne's title and lands, provided he can prove Blayne was associated with piracy. Launched upon his royal mission, Kidd is unaware that Blayne's son Adam is among the crew, determined to clear his father's name.

00:05:11 Now what?
00:08:00 It should be quite educational, sir.
00:10:57 All, well, all I ask is...
00:13:27 Nor fight so desperately...
00:16:20 Silence, you mutinous dogs!
00:19:36 I can handle it.
00:23:38 A knife in the dark?
00:28:13 You are now officer on a King's ship.
00:32:30 Your wits are even duller than usual, Mr Lorenzo.
00:36:06 Pretty shot Mr Mercy.
00:38:56 Oh yes, me Lord Blayne!
00:44:12 But I am a Dorcestershire man...
00:47:59 And I have.
00:51:41 Hard to starboard!
00:55:17 I suppose we could take Lord Fallsworth and Lady Anne...
00:59:06 You will look after the luggage, Mr Lorenzo.
01:03:14 Who do you think I am, a stinking sausage merchant?
01:06:26 If Kidd knew we shared this he'd kill you with as little compunction as he means to kill me.
01:10:49 Remember, no matter what tricks he tries...
01:15:32 Liar!
01:18:48 Shadwell, Kidd doesn't suspect you.
01:24:14 By your leave Your Majesty, both good and ill, but mostly very good indeed.
01:27:00 To them what hunts what I have hid...
