Billie Dove

Marion Davies, Billie Dove, Robert Montgomery, and Jimmy Durante star in this tale of two showgirls on the road from rags to riches who compete for the same man.

Exhibiting his trademark bravado and finesse, Douglas Fairbanks Sr. portrays the titular buccaneer, the lone survivor of a pirate attack that killed his father. Naturally, the valorous swashbuckler vows vengeance. Sword in hand, he infiltrates the lair of the villainous high-seas marauders, single-handedly captures one of their merchant vessels and scores the hat trick with the requisite rescue of a damsel in distress (Billie Dove).

A nobleman vows to avenge the death of his father at the hands of pirates. He infiltrates the pirate band and is instrumental in the capture of a ship, but things are complicated when he finds that there is a young woman on board whom he wishes to protect from the threat of rape.
