What It’s About: Dr. Peter Blood (Errol Flynn) is an Irish doctor who makes the mistake of helping a wounded rebel during the rebellion against James II.  Exiled in Jamaica, Blood and the surviving revolutionaries are sold at a slave auction. Dr. Blood plans an escape with the former rebels, which fortuitously occurs during a Spanish attack.  Blood and his men capture one of the Spanish ships and become pirates, the scourge of the Caribbean, until war between England and France presents them a choice: do they aid their former country or remain neutral pirates?
