French pirate Christopher "Kit" Gerardo (Sterling Hayden) is known throughout the Caribbean as "The Golden Hawk" for his bold exploits against the British and Spanish. While battling his rival, Luis del Toro (John Sutton), Kit takes prisoners on board, including notorious female pirate Rouge (Rhonda Fleming), who's disguised as a maid. When Rouge rejects Kit's romantic advances and escapes, Kit kidnaps del Toro's fiancée, Bianca (Helena Carter), which leads to a startling revelation.

This Technicolor time-passer has more chat than spectacle.

Sterling Hayden is hilariously miscast as a wavy, golden haired pirate in this routine swashbuckler. The film is mainly of interest because of the very odd casting of Hayden to play a smiling, giddy privateer (ALA Errol Flynn), but the film itself is pretty forgettable.
