Modern-day fortune hunters follow in the centuried footprints of the pirates of the Caribbean - but the trail leads only to murder and madness. Brannigan is the captain of the turtle-hunting ship "Manfish" that sails the blue Jamaican waters off Port Royal. On the ocean floor a skeleton holds in its hand a bottle containing half of an 18th-century treasure map - a discovery that leads Brannigan to "The Professor," a local character who owns the other half. The map is in code which only the Professor can decipher, forcing the two men to form a hate-filled partnership. The pirate treasure is finally unearthed, resulting in treachery, crime and macabre punishment. (official distributor synopsis)
