Plot
In the West Coast of England in 1765, young Jim Hawkins lives with his mother in a tiny country inn that they run. Captain William Bones, a sickly lodger, gives Jim a treasure map after receiving the "black spot" from two strangers. Squire Trelawney and Dr. Livesey accompany Jim to the inn, finding Bones dead. Trelawney recognizes the map as belonging to the legendary pirate Captain Flint and hires Captain Smollett and his ship, the Hispaniola, to find it, hiring Dr. Livesey as the ship's doctor and Jim as the cabin boy.
