CAPTAIN BLOOD
Doctor Peter Blood is sentenced to death for treating a wounded rebel leader after the Battle of Sedgefield. James II changes the sentence of the defeated rebels to transportation to Jamaica as indentured servants. In Port Royal, Blood is purchased by Arabella Bishop, niece of Colonel Bishop, the local military commander. Arabella secures Blood the job of being personal physician to the governor. When a Spanish force attacks the town Blood and his fellow prisoners seize their ship and defeat them when they try to reboard. Blood and his men escape on the captured ship and on June 20, 1687 [1:03:06 – 1:05:51] sign articles of piracy. When the governor of Jamaica can’t capture Blood’s ship, Arabella’s uncle is promoted to the post. After Arabella’s visit to England, the ship on which she and royal emissary Lord Willoughby are sailing is captured by Blood’s partner Levasseur. When he refuses to sell the captives to Blood, they fight a duel in which Levasseur is killed. In spite a rejection by Arabella, Blood vows to return her to Port Royal safely, in spite of the danger to himself. When they arrive, two French ships are bombarding the city. When Willoughby reveals James II has been deposed and replaced by William III, the pirates attack and defeat the French. As a result, Blood is made governor and finally wins the hand and heart of Arabella.
