"Aye, me Buckos!" Errol Flynn ("The Adventures of Robin Hood," "The Dawn Patrol") made his swashbuckling debut as a dashing young Irish physician who is exiled into slavery by a tyrannical governor. Forced into piracy, he ultimately earns his freedom and the love of a proper lady, played by Oscar-winner Olivia de Havilland ("Gone With the Wind," "To Each His Own"). Co-stars Oscar-nominee Basil Rathbone ("The Adventures of Robin Hood," "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes") as a cutthroat French pirate. The action-packed film that launched both Flynn's and de Havilland's incredible careers. A huge commercial success, it was nominated for Best Picture. Directed by Academy Award-winner Michael Curtiz ("Casablanca," "Yankee Doodle Dandy").

Irish doctor Peter Blood is wrongly sentenced to deportation and slavery to the Caribbean. There he plans an escape and now seeking vengeance, forms an alliance with the French buccaneer Rathbone.

An enslaved doctor and his comrades in chains escape and become pirates of the Robin Hood variety.
