Mediocre adventure film vehicle for hero actor Lex Barker (1919-1973), who through unfortunate circumstances becomes a pirate captain and then intervenes in the war between England and Spain.
The film was shot on Lake Garda and in the Titanus film studios in Rome. The beautiful women at Barker's side are played by Estella Blain and Liana Orfei. The African-American actor John Kitzmiller, who was awarded the Silver Palm at Cannes in 1957 for "The Valley of Peace" and a little later played the title role in the West German version of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" (1965), can be seen in a supporting role.
