According to history he was sent out to subdue piracy by King William III of England, who had heard of this captain's ability in combating these wolves of the marine commerce. Kidd starts out with good impulses. A misunderstanding with his sweetheart, whom he was about to marry, changed the tenure of his life, from a law-abiding citizen he suddenly was transformed into a fiend. He embarked with embittered thoughts that soon answered the summons of rancor. He fell for the temptation to reap an easy fortune through piracy. Ever actuated by the gnawings of a self-imposed broken heart, Kidd ruled with unpitying hand. A poor wretch, one of his own crew, whom he had ordered thrown overboard for no reason whatever nearly caused Kidd's downfall. In the meantime Peggy, his sweetheart, had pined through sorrow. The American shores invited. It was thought a change would do her good and she embarked with her father. Through a strange act of fate this ship fell a prey to the ever watchful eye of Kidd's crew. Battle and carnage reigned. Peggy recognized her old sweetheart directing the killing. When he finds her she has been mortally wounded. Gathering her in his strong arms he totters with unseeing eyes to the forward deck, where she dies. The man whose life had been seared through his own jealous nature becomes again as a child with a grief that was simple and sincere. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
