Captain Max Maximillem and his hapless pirate crew set sail in the "Black Rigg" searching for treasure armed only with a stolen treasure map. Seemingly doomed from the start, this stolen treasure map voyage soon becomes the worst and most dangerous time for all.

Encountering along the way a grizzly bear, ghostly pirate and more, Captain Maximillem is to suddenly find himself in the company of a somewhat strange and rather vain pirate captain.

When trickery leads him into a most desperate situation, just when all seems lost, surprisingly a helping hand arrives from a most unexpected source.
