Captain Flint takes the Swallows, the Amazons, Gibber the monkey and Polly the parrot on a round the world cruise in his schooner Wild Cat. We join them in their hundredth port, setting out on an eastern course across the south China coast. “Plenty of fireworks there” said the harbourmaster. They set off and become becalmed, Gibber setting the ship on fire whilst everyone is distracted and she explodes and sinks. Our intrepid sailors take to Swallow and Amazon, and become separated overnight. We follow the adventures of the two crews as they try to locate each other, whilst getting tangled up with real pirates, three taicoons, a dragon dance, and plenty of fireworks.
