Jim goes with his friends to find the gold. The squire finds a ship, but some of the sailors that he chooses are pirates. They want the treasure for themselves. They will kill anyone who tries to stop them. Jim finds out about their plans, but what can a boy do to stop Long John Silver and his evil pirates?
