6.8(16)199912m1

After marauding and sinking another ship, a band of pirates capture a female passenger, then send her overboard as punishment for her defiance.

They cross paths with the pirates, but both sides - after seeming to have victory within their grasp - meet a fate neither could have predicted. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2008.
