The swashbuckling captain sails again in yet another rehash of familiar material. This time out, Hayward plays the exiled Irish physician-turned-pirate who sails the seas causing trouble for the Spanish. Macready is commissioned to ferret out the dashing rogue and do him in, but Hayward
proves too skillful a pirate (and too popular a character) to be so easily dealt with. Italian-born author Sabatini, who served as an intelligence officer for the British War Office in WW I and wrote high adventure novels for more than forty years, died three months before the release of FORTUNES
OF CAPTAIN BLOOD.
