Peter DuckCaptain Flint plans to take the Swallows and Amazons on a sea voyage, aboard the newly restored schooner Wild Cat but plans change at the last minute and Peter Duck joins the crew as able-seaman. He tells the story of when as a lad, 50 years ago, he was castaway on Crab Island in the Caribbean and saw two men bury a box at the foot of the tree he was sleeping in. Captain Flint and the crew determine to see if they can find this treasure, but can they avoid the unwelcome attention of Black Jake and his piratical crew aboard the Viper?
