Lassie
Mr. Thomas Lawrence (Jamaica plantation owner, treasure hunt leader); Gerry Lawrence (daughter, Rocky's girlfriend); Rocky Langford (orphan youth befriended by Mr. Lawrence); Ling Lee (Cpt. Brine's Chinese cook); Captain Brine (of the lost schooner Albatross); assorted piratical Albatross mutineers; Lassie (the wonder dog, a collie); Slinger (piratical Albatross mutineer); Otto (piratical Albatross mutineer); Shorty (piratical Albatross mutineer); Lieutenant da Silva (of the Brazilian government gunboat); Brazilian sailors (under Lt. da Silva's command)
With the treasure of the old Spanish Dons in her cabin, the recaptured yacht, Sprite II, shows her heels to the Piranga Islands---and to the piratical crew inhabiting the largest of them...
On departure, a tidal wave shipwrecks Sprite II, leaving the crew marooned on Piranga Chica. Rocky and Ling rescue Lassie off Piranga, taking all the mutineers' firearms. A thrown rock beans Rocky! He's unconscious nigh two weeks, nursed by Gerry. Meanwhile, the others transport the now healed pirate Slinger to Piranga. He stomps a hole in the dinghy, they plug it, returning to Piranga Chica. Time passes. Lassie saves Rocky from a bullet in the head. Shorty ends dead. Rocky's plan succeeds in repelling the pirates' shore attack. Brazilian gunboat sailors see Rocky's fires. Law! Rescue! Arp!
