Rock Stevens (aka Peter Lupus) stars as Pedro Valverde, a Spanish sea captain who is assigned to clean up Evil Island.
It seems that pirates, led by a thief and killer named Malik (Nello Pazzafini) have been raiding gold shipments and generally causing trouble and it can no longer be tolorated.
Valverde gets into a lot of sword fights, and they are very well staged. He has two women vying for his attention. One is an evil woman named Alma (Halina Zalewska) and the other is Blanca (Dina De Santis) a woman he can trust.
There is a lot of action in this film that was released directly to TV by American International Pictures. It is not boring by any means and even the fights between the sailing vessels is very well done for a film like this.
Lupus makes a great hero and he made a few more of these films before hitting it big in the US with the show Mission Impossible. I caught this on a streaming channel by accident and so I figured I'd check it out.
The other thing I have to add is that the film seems to be rather obscure and hasn't been talked about too much, which is a shame. If you're a fan of these kinds of movies, I recommend you check it out.
