The Pirate storms and travails the high seas with his cousin, Captain Kenneth Dunn.

To save The Pirate's girlfriend, a nurse whom he met while a patient at St. Peter's Mental Asylum, the time travelers expend no gory detail, fighting zombies, vampires, and dragons of great fury. They battle sea monsters and of course, other pirates, to find the Fountain of Youth. Captain Dunn's personal quest is to find the real fountain, but his sidetrack into the past to avoid a sea monster chasing he and his ship leads his crew and vessel through a tour of the Ancient Island of Atlantis. During the time travel, the wrong end of the time warp has brought them to the exact time the island is set to sink; after exploding and evenly destroying itself. With the aid of others in distress, they attempt to escape unscathed from the collapse of an ancient island, before embarking on a journey towards the actual living Fountain of Youth. What they encounter is too much even for this band of pirates, who are accompanied by a sister ship with a female crew; but become indebted to the science league for their role in history. In order for history to be documented, the crew is separated and love, jealousy, and adventure drive everyone off of their own planks of destiny, so to speak.
