The film, now being hastily scenarioed, is the sequel-hopefully at the box office above all-of Errol Flynn's pirate classic, Captain Blood.

The lusty, naive young knockabout from New Guinea became the bored Mocambohemian. "The Baron," as his buddies called him, built the usual $125,000 mansion and kept a yacht, filled both of them with "roisterers, fun guys, rompers" and the sort of girls they...
