Here is a praiseworthy three-reel production concerning the career of Sir Henry Morgan, celebrated in history as a pirate, one of the worst who ever sailed the Spanish Main, although he was also governor of Jamaica at one time. In the story set forth in this film we see him deposed from his governorship by King James the Second, and after a desperate attempt to resume his piracy practiced before he was made governor, we see him killed. Into this part of his career is woven a delightful romance and many interesting characters appear. The settings, on the pirate ship, in Caracas and along the beaches, are well chosen and the atmosphere throughout is charming. The production is rather elaborate; many soldiers and pirates of a romantic age appear and the action is well sustained. A first-rate film. Boys in particular will appreciate it. - The Moving Picture World, December 6, 1913
