Freibeuter des Todes (1980)
Journalist Blair Maynard soll in der Karibik herausfinden, warum dort in den letzten Jahren eine ungewöhnlich hohe Anzahl von Schiffen und Menschen verschwunden ist. Gemeinsam mit seinem zwölfjährigen Sohn Justin gerät er in die Gewalt einer Gruppe von Piraten, deren Vorfahren sich vor mehr als 300 Jahren auf einer Insel angesiedelt hatten. Piratenanführer Nau ist erfreut über das frische Blut und beschließt, Justin zu adoptieren. Während Justin sich mit dem Piratenleben anzufreunden scheint, sucht Blair verzweifelt nach einer Fluchtmöglichkeit.
