| Jim Hawkins and his mother and father run an inn called the 'Admiral Benbow.' One day an old sea dog comes in and tells Jim to warn him if a sea-faring man with one leg. Then, one day an old blind beggar comes in and gives the sea dog the 'black spot.' Soon Jim finds himself fatherless and running for his life from the beggar's gang who are destroying the inn.
Before he left, Jim had taken the dead sea dog's chest containing money and a treasure map. Along with some friends and a crew of sea men Jim sets out for Treasure Island. Once on the island things start to happen-the finding of a wild man, a rebellion, missing treasure, and a few evil plots. Will Jim find the treasure before the pirates? | ||
