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.

"Although the quality of this film was grainy on Paramount Plus, I still enjoyed these adventures of Captain Kidd as played by Charles Laughton. He describes himself in the film as an ambitious man, and he certainly was. During the whole adventure, Captain Kidd's ambitions cause him to do his best to get rid of crew members who know about a treasure that he wants as his own. John Carradine stars as his second in command."
