The Scarlet Queen sails to one of the volcanic islands of the South Pacific. The lonely and desolate island offers no sign of life, except for the few men who were stranded there. Even the castaways found are dead from what appears to be the plague.
The ship stays at anchor as they are to dive to a sunken treasure that Kang has sent them here to recover. Philip Carney offers the picturesque descriptions as the crew excitedly find the wreckage. Philip dons the heavy diving suit and goes to personally explore. The discovery of the treasure is enough to make everyone forget the gruesome sights that greeted them when they pulled in to anchor. There bubble is burst though, when a strange character boards the Scarlet Queen, a guy who seems to be straight from the pages of Treasure Island.
The old timer claims to have been marooned ten years ago, and that pirates aren’t far away. What dangers await for Philip and his crew? Carney has to think fast to avoid sabotage, and forms a plan of his own to turn the tables. Still, can he manage to recover the whole treasure in time, before he is in danger of being blown up? Philip gives the voiceover as the suspense of the boat chase gets hot and heavy, and with guns blazing at each other. The only hope is to hit the high seas that mean safety just outside the reefs in the port.
What will it be? Will the Scarlet Queen and her crew live to set sail once again for future adventures? If they do, they’ll be back on their way to Hong Kong to deliver their goods to Kang.
