    • Synopsis
    • Selkirk, an unruly, selfish privateer, is the sailing master of the Esperanza, an English galley sailing the South Seas in search of treasures. In the absence of enemy ships, the privateers pass the time gambling. Before long, Selkirk has squandered his current and future savings and alienated the crew and, especially, Captain Bullock, who decides to maroon him on an uninhabited island. There, he has to put his desire for revenge and excessive ambition behind him and take a new outlook on the world.
