“Captain Sabertooth” is a swashbuckling movie full of fun! It features several pirates and a young boy named Tiny who was found as a baby. He wants to be a deckhand for Captain Sabertooth, the captain his enemies call Pasty Face because of his washed-out white face. Tiny serves on the ship The Dark Lady, but it is captured by another band of pirates led by Captain Bjorn. He and his crew want to thwart Captain Sabertooth and find the treasure of King Rufus in Lama Rama. The treasure, called the King’s Pearl, is said to be the greatest of all. A friend of Tiny’s father, Longfinger, helps care for him and Tiny must prove himself over and over again to the captain. Fortunately, he gets help along the way from a girl named Raven.
The two gangs of pirates make their way to Lama Rama in search of the king’s treasure. They find that King Rufus is a jolly soul who believes that laughter is a key ingredient to enjoying life. Tiny gets a chance to prove himself to Captain Sabertooth but he blows it and fears that he will not get another chance. King Rufus’ brother, Badal, attempts to seize the throne and only by helping King Rufus regain his power will Tiny be able to triumph in the end.
