Late in the 18th century, Caribbean pirate Captain Vallo and his crew capture a frigate of the king's navy. The ship is carrying Baron Gruda, the king's special envoy heading to the island of Cobra to crush a rebellion led by a man known as El Libre. Baron Gruda and Vallo strike an agreement: Vallo will release the baron and his crew but keep the frigate. In return, they will capture El Libre and bring him to the baron for a sizable reward.
Vallo and his crew sail to Cobra, where the captain and his lieutenant Ojo meet the island's rebels, led by Pablo Murphy and El Libre's daughter Consuelo. Vallo and Ojo learn that El Libre has been captured and is imprisoned on the island of San Pero. After sailing to San Pero, Vallo impersonates the baron and orders the prisoners released into his custody.
