Cutthroat pirate William Kidd captures Admiral Blayne's treasure ship and hides the bounty in a cave. Three years later, Kidd, posing as a respectable merchant captain, offers his services to the King of England. Seeking a social position, Kidd also negotiates for Blayne's title and lands, provided he can prove Blayne was associated with piracy. Launched upon his royal mission, Kidd is unaware that Blayne's son Adam is among the crew, determined to clear his father's name.

In days of old when ships were bold, just like the men that sailed them. Captain Kidd is directed by Rowland V. Lee and adapted to screenplay by Norman Reilly Raine from a story by Robert N. Lee. It stars Charles Laughton, Randolph Scott, Barbara Britton and John Carradine. Music is scored by Werner Janssen and cinematography by Archie Stout.

6/10

Charles Laughton stands out amongst this rather motley cast in the eponymous role; sent by King Charles II (Henry Daniell) to escort a treasure ship from India. A bit like leaving the child in charge of the sweetshop; "Kidd" has his own agenda but reckons not for the company aboard his nest of rogues of an oddly mis-cast Randolph Scott "Adam Mercy"
