Synopsis

Longbeard, a loathed and prickly pirate, and his cranky crew have been stirring up trouble in the English Channel. Luckily, Sir Gadabout is on a mission to save sailors from the scurvy scoundrels. But Sir Gadabout's never sailed a ship before and the pirates don't have much love for landlubbers ...A shiver-yer-timbers sea story exploding with cannonballs and cutlasses and starring Camelot's crassest knight!
