There is… A buried treasure on an island in the West Indies. A pirate missing his right leg, without a boat, a bloodthirsty traitor without a treasure map. An unscrupulous, big-time gambling baroness, a praying mantis without a dime, but with a boat. A fearless, brainless young man with the treasure map locked somewhere in his failing memory. A drunkard doctor, fortunately a specialist of failing memory and other atypical forms of amnesia.
This dream team weighs anchor one morning in the year of grace seventeen hundred and something, its sights set on Treasure Island and its inlets of rosy sands.
