Yellowbeard

“A shipload of laughs.”

Captain Yellowbeard (Graham Chapman), a pirate who looted the Spanish Main, is convicted of tax evasion and locked away for twenty years in St. Victim's Prison for the Extremely Naughty. The Royal Navy, led by Commander Clement (Eric Idle), lets him escape and follows, hoping he will lead them to his treasure. Mel Damski fills the chase with bad puns, cruel punishments and half the British comedians of the day, all treating the nonsense as perfectly ordinary.
