The Black Pirate

“The Love Story of a Bold Buccaneer”

A pirate crew guts a ship at sea, and the only survivor is the Duke of Arnoldo (Douglas Fairbanks), whose father did not live through it. He swears vengeance and joins the buccaneers under a false name, then takes a merchant vessel single-handedly to earn their trust. Albert Parker's silent adventure turns on a man who has to wear the face of his enemies, and on how long he can hide behind it.
