Plots(1)
Jim Hawkins (Jackie Cooper) is a young man who helps his mother run the Admiral Benbow Inn outside Bristol, England. One fine day a strange-looking man named Billy Bones (Lionel Barrymore) arrives at the Benbow and drunkenly discusses treasure. Bones drops dead, and Hawkins finds a treasure map in the dead man's chest. A friend of Hawkins, Dr. Livesey (Otto Kruger), recognizes the map for what it is and convinces the local squire (Nigel Bruce) to raise the money for a voyage to recoup gold and jewels. But in hiring a crew, Hawkins and Livesy unknowingly put together a motley group of pirates, led by the one-legged Long John Silver (Wallace Beery). As the ship sails, non-pirate crew members begin to disappear, and by the time the boat reaches Treasure Island, Long John and his companions vastly outnumber Jim and Livesy's stalwart crew.
