Henry Morgan, a pirate later knighted and made governor of Jamaica, is the central figure of this episode. 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.

With Henry Morgan, Don Pietro Pizarro, Cortes, Dolores Pizarro, Hanson Burley.

Listen for: Pizarro's vow to recover the Aztec necklace, and the rough talk of the crew as they plot against Morgan.
