Abbott and Costello Meet Captain Kidd

Kidd (Charles Laughton) and his adversary, Capt. Bonney (Hillary Brooke). Joining the two buccaneers on a hunt for buried treasure, Rocky and Puddin' Head wind up in dangerous waters when Kidd decides that he wants the interlopers dead. When the hapless duo uncover Kidd's devious plan, they try to turn the tables on him.
