Davie (Adam Wylie), a cabin boy who was betrayed and marooned by the nasty Captain Lucky (Leslie Nielsen) on Pirate Island, escapes the captain's trap and sets up booby traps with the help of a monkey named Chester to catch Lucky and his crew when he returns to the island to recover a treasure he buried there.

The captain, with a French pirate named Pierre (Eric Idle) as his first mate, returns soon after, along with his new crew.

Lucky eventually escapes the shackles and begins to have a sword fight with Davie, whom he disarms.

Busch Entertainment Corporation (BEC) developed its own package for its initial installations, as did Thorpe Park.

Later installations most likely utilized a more common package which was the early Iwerks 3D/4D FX Theatre System.

[33] Each package differed somewhat as to which effects were included, and the specific application of each, however, there were many similarities, driven by moments built into the film.

For example, at the end of the film, after Captain Lucky walks the plank, he surfaces and spits water into the camera.

The specialized 4D film seating featured in-seat sound, vibrators, water squirts, bursts of air and wires which push against the viewers' feet.

The BEC seats were installed at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, and replaced an earlier prototype at Sea World Ohio.
