In this 1935 action-adventure, an English physician is wrongly convicted as a traitor and exiled to the British colonies in the Caribbean, where he escapes and becomes a pirate.
violence
A man is flogged by captors for attempting to escape and later branded on the face with a hot iron. There are also sword fights, cannon fire, explosions, and moments where people are hit by falling debris or fall overboard. On other occasions, there are altercations in which people are punched and slapped.
threat and horror
Mild threat occurs during invasions from armies and pirates. People are also held captive and sentenced to hard labour. In other scenes, a pirate threatens to remove a man's eyes, and a guard threatens slaves with a whip. References are made to a pirate code of conduct, which forbids the abuse of female captives. In another scene, there is a brief implication of sexual threat when invaders haul away women while attacking a town.
discrimination
The term 'savages' is used in reference to explorers encountering people of other ethnicities, reflecting historical attitudes of the period. There are historical depictions of slavery, including both black and white slaves working on a colony.
injury detail
There is occasional bloody detail in the aftermath of floggings and battlefield violence. Burns are shown on a man's face after he is branded with a hot iron.
additional issues
References are made to pirates who betray their group being marooned on desert islands with one pistol and a single bullet, implying suicide as an option. In a comic scene, a man shoots himself in the foot to receive injury compensation. Also present are very mild sex references, use of the term 'jackasses', alcohol use and sight of an alfresco painting depicting artistic nudity.
