The Black Pirate on Fantasy Island

Ladies, if you are a Ricardo Montalban fan, complete with the Finest Corinthian Leather (you gotta be a certain age and viewer of U.S. television car commercials to understand), you will believe that you have died and gone to heaven while watching this adventure . . . . Fellas . . . Don't go away . . . This is an Italian production, and the Italians know a thing or three about putting beautiful and sexy ladies in their movies . . . along with enough swash-buckling action to get your blood boiling. As our adventure opens The Black Pirate is in a sword fight to the death with the evil one-eyed Buccaneer Captain Tortuga, who is taking ships filled with African slaves to America. The bare-chested Black Pirate fights Tortuga until he has his sword blade at Tortuga's throat, but instead of killing him he releases him on the promise that he never again trade in human lives. Soon the Black Pirate learns that Tortuga is selling slaves from the island of San Salvador, and he is off to find him and stop him at any cost. When the Black Pirate reaches San Salvador he dresses like a nobleman and pretends to be a wealthy land owner from Cuba in search of cheap labor. While trying to make contact with the slave traders he meets and falls in love with the daughter of the Governor of San Salvador, and later discovers that the head of the slave trading organization is the Governor's aide Romero, played by Vincent Price, who is determined to marry the Governor's daughter and kill the Governor. The Black Pirate finally makes contact with the slave traders, but before he arrives the evil Captain Tortuga sees him in the distance and recognizes him. The Black Pirate is then captured before he can crush Tortuga and his pirate slave traders, and he is scheduled to die at dawn by hanging, and after his hanging the aide Romero will kill the Governor and force his daughter to marry him . . . unless . . . Pop a big bowl of white kernel popcorn with plenty of warm melted butter drizzled over it and enjoy the show.
