Jim and his two friends organize an expedition to find the treasure. They hire sailors for their crew, but Jim doesn't like the looks of one sailor, Long John Silver. He is a one-legged man who carries a parrot on his shoulder. He is always smiling, but Jim doesn't trust him. Little does Jim know that Silver and many of the other sailors were once members of Captain Flint's crew. They are pirates, and they are after Flint's treasure as well! |
|
|
Jim does trust the ship's captain, Captain Smollett, who is tall, strong, and honest. As the ship sails off, Jim feels confident, but this confidence is shaken after the ship's first mate mysteriously dies. Jim then overhears Silver plotting with the rest of the pirate crew to mutiny. |
|
|
"Once we get to the island," Silver growls, "we'll send Captain Smollett and that little troublemaker Jim to Davy Jones's locker!" |
|
|
Alarmed, Jim dashes off to tell Captain Smollett this news. |
|
|
"We'll have to be on our toes," Smollett says, calming Jim down, and soon they come up with a plan. |
|
|
When they reach the island, the pirates go ashore first. Captain Smollett and his men follow later, and they take over an old stockade. From this protected location, they are able to battle the pirates. |

吉姆與兩個朋友組了一支探險隊前去尋寶。他們雇用水手當船員,但吉姆不喜歡其中一個水手名叫「高個兒約翰•席爾弗」的長相。這人少了一條腿、肩膀上還有一隻鸚鵡。他臉上總是掛著笑容,但吉姆不信任他。吉姆並不知道席爾弗和其他許多水手都曾經是費林特船長的船員。他們都是海盜,而且也在追查寶藏的下落! |

|
|
|
吉姆信任這艘船的船長,高壯又誠實的史莫勒船長。當船出航時,吉姆充滿信心,但在這艘船的大副離奇死亡後,他的信心卻動搖了。後來吉姆無意間聽見席爾弗與其他海盜船員在一起密謀叛變。
|
|
|
|
|
|
「我們一上了那座島,」席爾弗低吼著,「我們就把史莫勒船長和那個小麻煩吉姆丟進海裡餵魚!」 |
|
|
|
|
|
吉姆非常驚恐,連忙跑去告訴史莫勒船長這個消息。 |
|
|
|
|
|
「我們得小心謹慎,」史莫勒一邊說著一邊讓吉姆冷靜下來,不久便想到了一個對策。 |
|
|
|
|
|
當他們到達島上,海盜們先上了岸。史莫勒船長與手下尾隨在後,並佔領了一座舊營寨。他們在這個安全的地點,他們就可以與海盜對戰。 |
