All for a scrap of paper, Jim discovers to his amazement, but this scrap of paper is a map marking the location of fabulous buried treasure--gold, silver and jewels saved over the years by the ruthless, highly successful pirate, Captain Flint. It is hidden on a distant, mysterious island--and Jim manages to escape the furious pirates with the map. Now the prospect of finding such fantastic wealth exerts a magic spell on all and sundry. Soon Jim is part of an expedition alongside long-legged Long John Silver to find the treasure.
