To draw the paparazzi and his wife off the trail of adultery, and to give his lawyer time to arrange a divorce that won't cost him a fortune, the billionaire pays the supermodel and the valet to pretend for a month to be a couple. Within days, the bookshop owner and the billionaire are jealous, the supermodel experiences life with a nice guy, and the valet has status and self-confidence. What will each do with newfound wisdom?

By chance he treats the Governor's gout and is soon part of the medical service. He dreams of freedom and when the opportunity strikes, he and his friends rebel taking over a Spanish ship that has attacked the city. Soon, they are the most feared pirates on the seas, men without a country attacking all ships. When Arabella is prisoner, Blood decides to return her to Port Royal only to find that it is under the control of England's new enemy, France. All of them must decide if they are to fight for their new King.

Quotes:

Dr. Peter Blood: Up that rigging, you monkeys! Aloft! There's no chains to hold you now. Break out those sails and watch them fill with the wind that's carrying us all to freedom!

Dr. Peter Blood: Nuttall, me lad, there's just one other little thing. Do you think you could find me a good stout piece of timber? About so thick and so long?::Honesty Nuttall: Yes, I think so.::Dr. Peter Blood: Then do so and lash it to your spine - it needs stiffening. Courage! We'll join you at midnight.

Crewman: [Captain Blood's ship has just received a terrible broadside from the one remaining French warship] We're sinking! What should we do?::Dr. Peter Blood: Do? We'll board a ship that's not sinking!

Dr. Peter Blood: It's entirely innocent, I am!

Prosecutor: Peter Blood... guilty or not guilty?::Dr. Peter Blood: It's entirely innocent, I am!::Clerk of the court: Take the stand and face his Lordship.::[Peter Blood does so]::Clerk of the court: Are you guilty or not guilty? You must use the right words.::Dr. Peter Blood: Words is it? Oh. Not guilty. And speaking of words, I'd like to say a few about the injustice of keeping an innocent man locked up for three months in such filth and heat and ill-feeding... that my chief regret is I didn't try to pull down the filthy fellow that sits on the throne!

Dr. Peter Blood: Men, I've just heard a startling piece of news - King James is kicked out of England and good King William reigns in his stead.::[the crew all cheer]::Dr. Peter Blood: For me this changes the shape of the world. For you who were slaves with me, it means that we're no longer slaves, that we once more have a home and a country. For you who are English it means a chance to fight for your native land... for I now propose to sail into Port Royal and take it from the French! Those of you who are not English will have to be content with fighting for Captain Blood... and the loot you'll find on the French ships. Are you willing to fight, men?::[the crew all cheer, "Aye"]

Dr. Peter Blood: For those of you who aren't English it means a chance to fight for Captain Blood *and* the loot you find on the French ships!

Sentry: Pirates! Spanish pirates!::Dr. Peter Blood: This is what I call a timely interruption! Though what'll come of it - the devil himself only knows!

Mrs. Barlow: You would think of geraniums when every other able-bodied man is out fighting!::Dr. Peter Blood: Hmm. It's out of favor I seem to be with you, my vinegary virgin.::Mrs. Barlow: Half the town is saying you're a Papist.::Dr. Peter Blood: Why? Because I've the sense to sleep this night instead of rushing to my ruin in a hopeless attempt to put this Duke of Monmouth on the throne? He'd be even worse than King James. Make haste with that cloak there, my pretty one.::Mrs. Barlow: And the other half of the town that defends you claims that you're just a coward.::Dr. Peter Blood: Mrs. Barlow, me darlin', you can tell 'em if you like that I've been most everywhere that fighting was in evidence: I fought for the French against the Spanish and the Spanish against the French... and I learned me seamanship in the Dutch navy. And having had adventure enough in six years to last me six lives, I came here. Hung up the sword and picked up the lancet; became a man of peace and not of war... a healer, not a slayer. And that I'm going to be as long as I'm on top of the sod and not under it.

Capt. Hobart: Who the devil may you be?::Dr. Peter Blood: Peter Blood, Medicinae Baccalaureus.::Capt. Hobart: Don't fling your French at me!::Dr. Peter Blood: Latin, my dull friend. It means I'm a doctor.::Capt. Hobart: Or a liar!::Dr. Peter Blood: If your wit were as big as your voice, me dear, it's the great man you'd be by this.::Capt. Hobart: You may find me great enough to hang you.::Dr. Peter Blood: 'Faith, yes, I don't doubt it. You've the looks and manners of a hangman.::Capt. Hobart: Take him away. And the others, too.
