Action
Three lighthouse keepers are attacked by pirates on an island. Only one, Will Denton, survived the attack led by Jonathan Congre. From then use the pirates of the lighthouse to guide ships into error and to plunder their Schriffbrüchen. Denton, who watches everything from a shelter can save any of the passengers. As Congre gets wind, he takes the beautiful Arabella hostage and wants to challenge Denton. Denton and his new friend Virgilio must now lay the pirate craft.
Criticism
" Thrilling Adventure, which runs the clichés of the genre into its opposite and developed the almost agonizingly slow progression of evil without any romanticism. In the confrontation of the main characters of the film superbly photographed more reminiscent of the enigmatic novels as Herman Melville's fantastic to Jules Verne's stories. Drastic cuts have eliminated some atrocities, but also rob the film much of its meaning and the narrative rhythm. "
