The Caribbean, 17th century. A powerful man killed his family. The Black Corsair vows vengeance…. and he won’t stop until he gets it. One of the world’s first pirate classics. An Italian nobleman turns pirate to avenge the murder of his brothers. His foe: an old Flemish army officer named Van Guld, now the Governor of Maracaibo.
