After discovering a treasure map among the belongings of a deceased pirate, Jim joins forces with Dr. Livesey and Squire Trelawney to organize an expedition to a mysterious island. They set sail aboard the Hispaniola, led by the honorable Captain Smollett. However, their journey is fraught with danger, as many of the crew members, including the charismatic and cunning one-legged cook Long John Silver, are secretly plotting a mutiny to claim the treasure for themselves. As alliances shift and danger lurks at every turn, Jim must navigate treacherous waters, both literal and metaphorical, to survive.
