Morgan è la bella e audace figlia di un pirata, degna seguace delle orme paterne. A un'asta di schiavi compra William, un affascinante avventuriero, insieme con il quale si mette alla ricerca di un tesoro segreto, seppellito a Cutthroad Island. La mappa del tesoro però in parte si trova sulla testa rasata di un vecchio pirata, mentre un altro pezzo è in possesso di un pericoloso filibustiere. Tra duelli, raggiri, inseguimenti, ci sarà anche il tempo per far sbocciare l'amore.
