Arnoldo, the sole survivor of a pirate attack, is marooned on a desert island where he buries his slain father and vows to visit revenge upon the savages that murdered him. His solitude is broken when the pirates land on the island to bury a strongbox of treasure. Arnoldo shows himself and asks to join their company, offering to fight their best swordsman to the death. In the ensuing battle, he kills the captain, and the astonished seamen welcome him aboard their ship. He distinguishes himself in combat and becomes the band's leader, while secretly waiting to exact vengeance. But when a beautiful noblewoman is captured, he desperately seeks a way to free her before the crew can have their way with the desperate captive.<p><i>The Black Pirate</i> boasts spectacular sets, costumes and production values and stars handsome, athletic, charismatic Douglas Fairbanks. Only eighteen months after his debut in D.W. Griffith's <i>The Lamb</i> (1916), Fairbanks had established himself as Hollywood's third highest paid actor, behind only Charlie Chaplin and Mary Pickford. The mighty triumvirate of friends went on to found United Artists in 1919, and the studio's financial success was fueled to a great extent by Fairbanks' motion pictures. As the first president of the Motion Picture Academy Of Arts and Sciences, Fairbanks presented the very first Oscars in 1927. He is best known for his lavish swashbuckling adventures, most notably <i>The Mark Of Zorro</i> (1920), <i>The Three Musketeers</i> (1921), <i>Robin Hood</i> (1922) and <i>The Thief of Bagdad</i> (1924).
