Widower Tommy Tyler (John Mills) is a surly sailor who makes his money off of simple con games while raising his plucky daughter, Spring (Hayley Mills). But two things change: Firstly, Tommy decides to act upon the fact that he has a map that could lead to a sunken treasure. Then, newcomer William Ashton (James MacArthur) arrives, and he catches Spring's eye as the group seeks out that fortune and fights off Tommy's old rivals, who also want to get their hands on the loot.

Steve D Really lame despite the talent involved. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Sickly-sweet as many of Hayley Mills films made in the US were in the 1960's. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member I saw this randomly a while back and really enjoyed it. Wish they would release it on DVD. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member A delightful adventure at sea, in search of treasure (gold and not only). A story of innocence, full of freshness, both funny and touching. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member I love the old movies like this it has been a while since i have seen it but i know that I Loved it! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I remember liking this when I was a kid...a little more of a serious role for Hayley Mills. I love Haley Mills and James MacArthur so that's probably why I remember liking this, so I'm not sure what to rate it since it's been so long. I wish they would show it on TV or release it on DVD.
