Adam Merry (Randolph Scott) and kidnapped noblewoman Lady Ann Falconer (Barbara Britton) help bring Kidd to justice at the end of a rope.
Werner Janssen's music for this seafaring adventure received a 1945 Academy Award nomination for "Best Musical Score."

Charles Laughton plays Capt. Kidd and he does a great job combining his evil black heart with just a touch of mirth. Randolph Scott (whose accent I could never quite figure out) is the "good guy". And Barbara Britten is gorgeous. There's enough action and mayhem to satisfy the meanest pirate or land lubber. It's not great but I'm sure you'll like it.
Well, it's no "Pirates of the Caribbean", but lots of fun nonetheless. Treacherous, blackhearted Captain Kidd preys on England's treasure-filled ships. While eliminating his old crewmates (to keep their share of the treasure) Kidd hatches a plan to earn himself a noble's title and score some serious booty. The only man who can stop him in Adam Mercy, a sailor with a secret. But you just might root for that vile pirate instead, played with gusto by Charles Laughton. The funniest moments are between Kidd and his hired etiquette coach. Have you ever tried to teach a pirate manners?
