They in a final outbursts fleeing the challenge of death into the face of uncertain destiny. You'll see what

I mean a little later, but first a few words from your announcer. Now back to Warren William as John Francis O'Connell in The Lady and the Pirate.

It has been my good fortune to come from an illustrious line of lawyers. My inherited illegal birthright dates back to the year 1724 when my ancestor and namesake John Francis O'Connell left England under the King's command to become the legal counselor to the governor of the Carolinas, but he had another mission, a secret one. He was sent to the Carolinas to personally

direct in the capture and hanging of the notorious pirate and renegade Englishman, Black Richard Templeton, whose ship the Elizabeth cast a shadow of death and doom across the trade lanes in Caribbean waters. How Black Richard finally died is of no relative importance, But his will, written under the most peculiar of circumstances, remains as one of the most

unique ever to be filed in probate. Let us now turn back the pages of history to a May evening in the year 1724. His gracious Majesty ship the Royal Vengeance, bound for the Carolinas and the New World, is moving slowly down the channel toward the open sea.
