He is drawn to the beautiful country girl Bille, while Michels gets rebuffed by the friesian princess Okka.

Thankfully, he runs into the young Jacob (Dan Tait) who has randomly picked up a map to the mysterious Snake Island, which – after some convincing - sends the group off on Cutter’s ship. Cutter is being followed by the evil Killian, who not only has a vendetta against Cutter, but was also the previous owner of the treasure map. Accompanying Cutter on his trip are his crusty crew, his beau Victoria (Amanda Leigh), and the poor, but moral, Jacob. The trip has all of the usual great stuff: sword fighting, mutiny, and fantastic sea creatures, before things get appropriately wrapped up while still leaving the possibility open for a sequel.

Director: David Johnson

Storyline: Blackbeard's career in piracy is described in conjunction with the salvage of a ship thought to be Blackbeard's flag ship. The salvaging of the Queen Anne's Revenge, the flagship of early 18th-century pirate Blackbeard, from its watery grave off the North Carolina coast is chronicled. The process enables researchers to determine whether, as legend has it, the pirate purposely ran the ship aground in order to cheat its crew out of booty from a blockade of Charleston, S.C. Included are remarks from marine archaeologist Lisa Briggs; author Angus Konstam (Blackbeard) and David Moore (North Carolina Maritime Museum).
