Description

Cutthroat pirate William Kidd captures Admiral Blayne's treasure ship and hides the bounty in a cave. Three years later, Kidd, posing as a respectable merchant captain, offers his services to the King of England. Seeking a social position, Kidd also negotiates for Blayne's title and lands, provided he can prove Blayne was associated with piracy. Launched upon his royal mission, Kidd is unaware that Blayne's son Adam is among the crew, determined to clear his father's name.

    Charles Laughton stands out amongst this rather motley cast in the eponymous role; sent by King Charles II (Henry Daniell) to escort a treasure ship from India. A bit like leaving the child in charge of the sweetshop; "Kidd" has his own agenda but reckons not for the company aboard his nest of rogues of an oddly mis-cast Randolph Scott "Adam Mercy" who has a smidge too much honour. Barbara Britton provides the love interest that, frankly, drags this otherwise engaging seafaring adventure down somewhat. John Carradine, Reginald Owen and Gilbert Roland complete this main cast without much distinction and Rowland Lee does let this drag it's anchor in the weeds a little towards the end...
