Verrill explains who the buccaneers were, how they got their name on Tortuga and how they organised their crews and shares, then tells the stories of Pierre le Grand, Bartholomew Portugues, Rock Brasiliano, Henry Morgan and others. Along the way he visits the Panama church whose golden altar was painted white to hide it from Morgan.
