Determined to seek his fortune, Percival Taylor leaves behind his sleepy hometown and sets out to become a legendary pirate - only no one at the roguish seaport of Blackshore will allow him anywhere near a ship! Percival must find other means to win the heart of the beautiful Tuppence Magrathia-Paddock, who has mistaken him for a pirate rogue out of one of her romantic tales. She is entirely willing to swoon into his arms if he can prove his buccaneer soul - and she is willing to arrange her own kidnapping to prove it.

Percival eventually finds himself captain of a broken-down ship (complete with a crew of pirates who make their living selling fake treasure maps), a jilted fiancee, a reclusive Master Shipwright, and an old professor with a secret that could kill them all. It's Pirates of Penzance meets Princess Bride as this motley group of characters sets sail for treasure and romance.
