Spanish governor Don Pietro Pizarro learns that his treasure ship, captained by Cortes, has been seized by Morgan's men during a storm. Pizarro is furious that the Aztec necklace, which belongs to his daughter Dolores, was among the treasure, and he swears she will have it back. Aboard Morgan's ship, a dispute over the loot breaks out, and two of the crew plot against their captain. As Port Royal comes into view, Morgan is attacked in a dark lane and a mysterious stranger intervenes to save him.
