We are first taken on board his ship, when Morgan is gaining the enmity of Jack Teach, his mate, by winning all his savings through gambling. Following is an attack on Captain Mardo's ship. All hands are murdered, except the Captain's little son Juan, who is saved by the Padre. Teach takes a hand in the boy's defense. Morgan gouges out his eye. The Padre and the boy later escape to land safely. Years pass and Morgan becomes the Governor of Jamaica. His identity is discovered and a trap is laid for his arrest. He escapes to the "Undertow," an old ship converted into a tavern and owned by Jack Teach, Teach recognizes Morgan and plots revenge. The latter rallies his men and with Teach they take to sea to renew their old trade. Incidents full of excitement pursue them. In one a city is completely destroyed by fire when the pirates raid it for plunder. Juan and his sweetheart are captured, Teach offers to bring about his escape on condition that when Morgan is captured he will be turned over to him to deal with as he sees fit. This is done and in the end Morgan is placed in irons. He is turned over to Teach, who chains him to a rock in the sea and leaves him to die. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
