In 1763, the Caribbean is awash in pirates. He wants the Scepter of Inca, which gives its owner great powers. To remove it from remote Calaveras Island, he needs the Dagger of Ataljuapa as well as the aid of a descendant of the family to whom the Scepter was entrusted. So, he kidnaps Manuel Valenzuela, honeymooning with the lovely Isabella. On Stagnetti’s trail are pirate hunters, Captain Edward Reynolds and Jules, his commander. Edward’s a bit clueless, but he does rescue Isabella. Once Stagnetti has the Dagger, the stage is set for the clash of good and evil.How can you describe this film? Based in part on the Gilbert & Sullivan play 'The Pirates of Penzance', this early 80's adaptation adds a bit of early 80's pop music mixed with the traditional theme of the play.

When this movie was being made in Australia in 1982, producers were aware that there was also an american film adaptation of the same play being brought to the screen, so they rushed to get it into the theaters first, as a means for it not to get lost in the shuffle.

It bombed anyway, but has developed a sort of cult following with the same people who loved 'Xanadu' and 'Grease 2'. Having popular young actors Kristy McNichol and Chris Atkins helped to appeal to younger girls who in turn have become the fans of the movie today. Kristy McNichol plays the part of Mabel (Mabel?), an u gly ducking who becomes smitten with a young man (Akins) she meets at a swordfighting demonstration during Pirate Day at the local marina. He casually invites her and a few of her friends to go boating the next day. Well, her friends wind up ditching her and in her pursuit to catch up with them in her little sailboat, she winds up getting knocked overboard and.here comes the dream sequence. In the dream she plays Mabel, the daughter of a Major General who dreams of finding true love. unfortunately, due to a family tradition, she can't get married until all 13 of her sisters are married before her.

All the meanwhile, on the pirate ship, we meet Frederic (without a K), who after his parents were killed by pirates, was rescued by the Pirates of Penzance and was brought up to be a pirate apprentice to the pirate king. Upon his 21st birthday when he earns his freedom, he decides to go out on his own and find true love himself and vows revenge to kill the pirates who left him an orphan.

Long story short, he meets Mabel, they fall in love, her dad freaks out because he's a pirate, a little twist of fate has Frederic returning to his band of pirates to serve his duty, and as Mabel and her sisters fight for their freedom from the invading pirates, Mabel and Frederic become unwilling enemies. All this is mixed in with some cheesy 80's pop songs, 'How can I live without her?' and 'Pumping and Blowing' (if that's not a sexual metaphor, I don't know what is!) and some rather amusing jokes here and there. Nowhere near, but it's a good movie for a rainy Sunday afternoon. It's definitely a little bit of nostalgia for anyone who loves 80's movies.
