The Buccaneers - Volume 5 (DVD)

Let's go a roving, a roving, a roving and join the Buccaneers!!! A young and dashing Robert Shaw stars as Dan Tempest, a former pirate who will be pardoned by the King if he becomes a British privateer and joins in the fight against Spanish pirates threatening Britain's rule of the seas. Noted for playing James Bond's nemesis in From Russia With Love (1963) and King Henry VIII in A Man For All Seasons (1966), Shaw would return to the sea with a stellar performance as the grizzled shark-hunter in 1975's summer blockbuster Jaws.

Marooned: A prisoner convinces a dim-witted member of Captain Tempest's crew to mutiny. After being left to die on a deserted island, Tempest and his men must find a way to escape and reclaim their ship.

The Ladies: A ship filled with women settlers is on its way to New Providence. When the dreaded pirate Blackbeard learns of the 'special cargo' he plots a dastardly plan to take them captive.

To The Rescue: The South Carolina Trading Company is cheating honest farmers out of their profit. Dan and his men make plans to retrieve their stolen crop.

Ghost Ship: The crew of the Sultana come across a ship adrift on the high seas. After a spectral encounter, Tempest tries to convince his men that there's no such thing as a ghost ship.
