Billy meets an untimely and suspicious death, and shortly afterwards Jim receives the "black spot" and a faded treasure map. After consulting with his two trusted friends, Dr. Livesey and Squire Trelawney, the three decide to set sail for Treasure Island. Unknowingly, they hire a crew of the very "dastards" who are responsible for Bily Bones death. The inimitable and justly famous Orson Welles gives a masterful performance in the role of the evil and conniving Captain Long John Silver, the feisty old sea dog who eliminates everything and everyone in his way ER -
