Synopsis:
The Black Pirate and his son are summoned to England by Queen Elizabeth. On their journey they rescue a British sailor who claims his ship was destroyed by a sea monster. The Black Pirate makes a detour to find the monster, but his crew are too afraid to confront the beast. The Black Pirate goes alone and is swallowed.

Inside the beast, the Black Pirate learns it is a disguised Spanish vessel. The Spaniards are using the monster to steal gold from the British. The Black Pirate and his son, who has followed his father, defeat the Spaniards. The fake sea monster is then towed back to England.

When the Pirate meets with the Queen, he learns that the mission for which he was summoned was to dispatch the very same monster.
