Just before dying of a heart attack, Bones gives Jim the treasure map and begs him to go after the treasure and keep both it and the map safe from pirate hands, especially one with a peg leg.
One night, Bones' crewmate Blind Pew arrives, giving Bones the black spot. Jim listens to Billy Bones' tales about the pirate Captain Flint, who buried his treasure trove on a remote island and executed his crew so only he would own the island's map. Jim Hawkins is a young orphan who lives in an inn in England with his best friends Gonzo and Rizzo.
