England's worst comedian, Sylvester the Great, is given a treasure map and escapes ship from a band of pirates w/ a runaway princess, but later is prisoner by a sinister governor who is also trying to obtain the treasure as well as the princess. Its up to Sylvester to save her, as well as himself from the governor and the dreaded Hook who has returned w/ mercenary pirate crew in tow. Hope is, as in many of his movies, hammy, but is able to work well off his costars. McLaglen and Brennan are a delight to watch as Hook and Featherbrain, respectively. Nice ending as well. Rating, 6 of 10.
