The story tells the prequel to the famous Treasure Island. The focus is on the pirate captain rappee who kidnapped his grandnephew Ormerod from his parents' house because he had referred in his next foray - would like to have it - a richly laden ship of the Spaniards. Rapee wants not only to enrich themselves, but also to intervene in politics. His friend, Captain Flint, on the other hand just wants the gold. Whether they achieve both their aim?
The viewer gets a very exciting story offered that will be interesting not only for fans of Treasure Island. Because Helmut Höfling many traveled to distant lands, his books look very realistic. And this realism has prevailed during radio play. The audience is in the midst of history and feels transported back to that time. The speaker - Hans Wyprächtiger, Karl Georg Saebisch, Horst-Werner Loos and Gert Keller do a very good, the atmosphere is managed. I like the old radio dramas and hope Pidax will bring more of this genre in the trade.
