His subjects are the Thornton children, a quintet of improper Victorians who, along with two Creole friends, are packed off from Jamaica to be properly educated in England. En route they are inadvertently abducted when their ship is hijacked and they wander aboard the pirate vessel, manned by a dissolute captain (Anthony Quinn), his raffish mate (James Coburn...
